Thanks Katkin and writersblock! I'll see how these do since they were pretty cheap. I'll search for the Florida hardy species.

I have the wild variety growing in my yard here in SW Fl. It reseeds & comes back every year.

Igrow different ones from seed , very slow but worth it. Their right they will start in Apr. and stop mid to late June.
