I grew one last summer in my garden (Zone 6) and take my advise do not direct plant them because they HATE to be moved. Although I took the utmost care of it while digging up (grew to 4 ft) trying not to disturb the rootball too much - it died. I was terribly disappointed. The container ones grows much (MUCH) slower - but I do like fflora's advise about keeping the container buried - I thought of trying that this year also... It's such a pretty plant who can resist?
