This one is very lovely, I only grown the yellow and orange ones.

I've left mine in the ground for two winters and they've bloomed well.

Four Seasons.. How cold are your winters and how much rain... I somehow feel that mine would rot with all the wet weather we get. Maybe I will leave a few i this winter just to test them. They are only 1 year old and I started them from seed so they still might be a bit fragile.

I have lost so many by leaving them out during the winter....I mostly plant in pots and bury the pot in the ground....Its handy then to lift, dry and store them...:>)
