Every once in awhile, I dig some out to plant in the ground, and it does not live over the winter. Why it does in the tub, I"m not sure. I tried again last year, and hope it grows in the bed I put it in.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-30153836922238713952009-01-26T19:57:00.000-06:002009-01-26T19:57:00.000-06:00Love your picks-- it's really a great challenge. ...Love your picks-- it's really a great challenge. <BR/><BR/>I can't even imagine which three I'd choose....there are so many.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657232418012801175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-37818034087520432112009-01-26T17:29:00.000-06:002009-01-26T17:29:00.000-06:00My garden here is only two years old so I haven't ...My garden here is only two years old so I haven't acquired that many plants yet.
