I put some of mine in the ground and some in a pot and some in a wagon
I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.

My neighbor gave me and mom ours........I had no clue that they would do so well over winter outside, but my neighbor insisted they did...and they do!
She gave me those last year because the ones I had in my other bed actually flowered and then pretty much died. She said in all her years of
growing them none of hers had ever flowered....it was neat to see. Luckily she has tons of them and gave me more.

They don't mind the cold...they overwinter here as well.....they are surely tough. I've
weed -whacked them by mistake a few times
It seems thought that they only bloom once every couple of years though.

I can't find any around here except already in containers and they are very expensive - because of the containers. I saw some more at Home Depot today but they were in ceramic containers for $12.00. I hope the ones Dodge sent me multiply.

That's cute. I've never heard of them being called Cats and Kittens before.
Maybe I'll start calling mine Dogs and Puppies.

Hi Dodge, I sent the spider ones to you. How are they doing? The snow is finally gone here in NH and mine all survived nicely. Jiffy, pm me your address and I can send you some green. Have oodles. Never heard them called cats and kittens before. Too Funny!

ladyslipper,
They are on my kitchen window.. All winter, I was scared to put them out last winter.. They are
growing but I refuse to put them out till after frost, cause they are accustomed to inside yet.
Now do you let those out all winter?

Yes I leave them out planted among some stones around the foundation of the house. Mine have multiplied like crazy. The do shoot up a stalk and bloom. The ons that bloom dye but chicks spread like crazy. At least they do here.
