This cormous hybrid is said to like deep rooting heavy clay in full sun. I grow it in pots on the fence where their long (up to 4 feet) arching pink, bell type flowers are one of the highlights of the summer. Although it is frost hardy I protect mine with a sheet during the worst of the frost. It is often a temperimental plant and will not flower if the conditions are not right.
