However, in the fall I take tip cuttings and root them (pots or water)to carry over the winter. Usually have more than enough to share with family and friends. It is great as a spiller in pots and can take full sun to partial shade. I have found it to be low maintenance plant that is really forgiving if I forget to water it. Posted: 8:50 am on August 22nd
