Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Is this double Brug really "Rare"?, 1 by Moogie

Hello - I have been reading through the posts on this forum for the past week or so and just love all the gorgeous photos of brugs you post. I just purchased 4 Brugs on Ebay (I'm afraid I don't really have anything to trade here): Dr. Seuss, Yellow Suaveolens, White Suaveolens, and Insignis Pink. I'm planning on planting them around a covered pavilion (very rich soil) that receives dappled light. (zone 8) I have planted 1 gallon lacecap hydrangeas and was thinking of planting my brugs inbetween.

My question is about this last one. After reading your comments about the so-called "rare" brugs on Ebay, I am now wondering if it's worth the $10.90 +shipping.

I would really appreciate your thoughts on this - it really is beautiful!

One last question (if you don't mind): Do the brugs do better planted in the 5 gallon containers and lifted in and out - or will they do just as well in zone 8 planted in the ground? I don't mind putting them in and out - but want to save my back if it's not necessary.

Thank you so much for any comments or help with my questions.
