Now I'm overwintering two inside and making new plants for spring. Some I put in with other plants where they enjoyed winding around the tall stems. A few times during the summer I cut pieces, dipped them in rooting medium, and spread them around the yard. After placing it in a sunny spot on the front deck of my South Kingstown, RI home, I was rewarded with gorgeous yellow flowers all summer and well into fall.

I'm looking for more colors. It was mulched naturally with pine straw and by golly it is returning this year. I have it in a slightly sheltered area with sun half day. I love this plant at my NC cottage zone 7b-8a. On May 12, 2019, Marysland from East New Market, MD wrote: Does anyone have any experience in doing this? I have had a lot of luck growing other annuals inside during the winter, and I wondered about this beauty. I would like to grow this inside all year long. Hi All! Just picked up this beautiful plant that was in a hanging basket.
