@Jeff985 I think if they get well-established they could be a dieback perennial here. I have seen several flowering over the years in Houston, but they all eventually go bye bye after a bad freeze. The question is, do they disappear because the roots froze and/or the plant failed to come back from the roots, or do their owners take them out because they died back?

Right... This isn’t the first one I’ve seen. I actually have two of them. What makes this one interesting is it survived our worst freeze of the last 30 years, 2018. I was just surprised by that. If it survived that it should  be a long term survivor here barring another 1989 type of freeze.
