I like the vertical statement they make in your garden. Are they easy to grow?

Unfortunately they hate our heavy clay so these two will be planted in a container this time! Other than that they seem to fair well with a little healthy neglect and some winter mulching when it gets cold.

I also have clay soil and may also grow them in a container.
Thanks for the advice.

My pleasure Shirley and good luck!
