I know it has a weedy reputation, but after seeing it blooming lushly on the Oregon Coast last spring, I finally placed an order for this fall. After checking a few references, it is given as hardy to Zones 9/10 and suited to humusy shade. I tend to doubt all this. So please Robert and others give us more experience with this charming weed. Is it hopeless here in Zone 5? Not too late to cancel my order. Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
