Mine goes dormant in zone 9b also. Here is a picture of mine. I keep it potted and bring it in each winter. Otherwise, as Texasbigleaves said, it does not come back very large at all the next season. This year is the largest it has ever been for me and it's about 3 feet tall. Now since LariAnn's posting, I'm on a quest for a 6 footer. This is one of my favorites as well.

It does get a good amount of filtered afternoon sun. I was worried it would burn, but it seems to grow very well where it is, better then in full shade. Since I keep it in a pot, I can turn it when it starts leaning toward the light on one side.
