Is it difficult to care for? I notice we're in the same zone so I want some! Do you have 100 degree days in the summer like I do?

None of them are difficult to care for really..........
No, thank heavens, we don't have 100 degree summers.
If you plant them in a partial shade area, so they are out of the afternoon sun and keep the soil moist, they will do well.......

Isn't it interesting that we're in the same zone but you don't get the same weather? I think someone needs to update the Zones so that more indicators are reflected, yes?

Zones to me don't mean a thing............... here we don't have zones like you do. Its a yankee thing!!!!!! LOL
Actually I think we should be 9a really............. our temps never get down below -6 degrees C.
Our weather here is totally different................ even though we get summer temps of 80ish F, to you if you were here it would feel like maybe over 100 F. its a different kind of heat!!!
Hard to explain really.
