I've had two in the ground for 2 years. No flowers yet, but surviving and slowly growing. They were planted when really tiny though. I had been told they wouldn't survive the summers here. Not true. I did have one die in a pot in full shade in summer here though. Maybe the roots get too warm in a pot?

Also, do you feed them any fertilizer. That one I killed in a pot died after a very light application of fish emulsion, but I still think it was the heat that killed it. Therefore, I am afraid to fertilize the ones I have in the ground. They grow, but slowly.
