OK, they're common as dirt, but I didn't believe they'd overwinter in the
ground here. However, they're leafing out vigorously now, after our typical
winter with 3 months of snow cover (December-March) followed by an atypical
April with roughly twice as much rain as usual. They're planted on the
south side of an unheated garage, where I assume they picked up some heat
from the nearby concrete slab, but still - they made it! Next experiment:
the open garden.
