It will be difficult if not impossible. Just not cold enough. I nurse a patch along in southern Maryland (on the western shore), but it's planted in a low-lying frost pocket. I've talked to other gardeners and farmers in Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles and their experience is the same -- you might be able to grow a bit of it in a cold spot. Makes me crazy as I grew up in northern Minnesota where the stuff is unkillable and grows like a hedge.
