Thanks all for the kind words....The zone info on the tag that came with my plant says 6-9...so I don't know about any lower zones than that. The pic above is from the first season after a Fall planting. It has grown out and filled in quickly, but grows slowly in height. I have been really happy with all the new growth it puts on after flowering is over in May, so I would say although it doesn't tend to grow 'up', it really is a quick grower 'out' filling in its spot in the garden and throws lots of sturdy horizontal branches. The flowers last a LONG time as well....well over 6 weeks here in my garden.
