Brrr.<br /><br />Darla ~ It is a nice carefree shrub. I have one at the back of the property that I never do anything with and it's surviving just fine, along with a hibiscus that is growing right next to it.<br /><br />Marnie ~ This is definitely one tough, drought resistant plant.<br /><br />Skeeter ~ Didn't you get your wish for snow? We're way down south so didn't get any.<br /><br />L.D. ~ It is beautiful, and not one that many know about or grow.<br /><br />Linda ~ Blue flowers are one of my favorites also.<br /><br />Noelle ~ It's cold again here this morning.<br /><br />Glenda ~ I think you would have to bring it indoors for the winter if you grew it there.<br /><br />Nell Jean ~ This might grow in your area, but like you said you'd probably have to take in during the winter. In your greenhouse I'm sure it would survive and thrive.<br /><br />Jane ~ My garden is a work in progress, here in the tropical climate that we have.<br /><br />Jim ~ this is one of my favorite flowering plants.<br /><br />Kimberly ~ It is beautiful that's for sure. I'm happy every year to see the blooms once again.<br /><br />Tina ~ It is a striking shade of blue, a real delight to grow.<br /><br />Cameron ~ You're right, it is hard finding this color of blue. No snow here, too far south.<br /><br />Sweetbay ~ I liked the description of celestial blue and agree with you about the violet-blue centers setting off the blue of the flowers.<br /><br />Healingmagichands ~ I know what you mean about spending $ on plants that won't survive in our zones. I've been there and done that. We've lots foliage from the cold, most things seem to be doing well.<br /><br />Susan ~ Isn't it a wonderful plant? So easy and I just love the color of the flowers. I need to make some more cuttings to root and grow around the property.<br /><br />Thanks again everyone for visiting and your kind comments.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-45913203138679300182010-02-12T12:50:10.420-05:002010-02-12T12:50:10.420-05:00I thought that was Blue Sage.

I take shrimp plants inside for the winter but they usually sprout back up in spring from the roots, outside.
