Mine have been in the ground for many years now .... we had a few mild winters right after they were planted so they got established well. Now, if we have a hard freeze they turn to mush and really look like dead sticks, but come spring they sprout right back again!

Here's another photo of a smaller one in my side yard by the screen room ... It gets taller than the roof too if I don't prune it back!
