Thank you!

I am not sure you can grow it in your zone for this is a biennial. The first year it grows big and then in the spring in the second year it blooms big.

Though I might have planted mine late in the summer of 2007 now that I am thinking about it and it did not bloom till this spring.

I planted 1 and it divided itself into 2. And when they recently collapsed, I saw I have 2 more small ones under it. It has not had time to reseed itself.

Mine entertained me for over a month early, early spring which was great for it was before my roses started.
