I bought 2 of these so I could learn a thing or two. After I got them last year I brought them along in pots and after a couple of months planted one in the ground. It got really stout, much bigger than the potted one which makes sense. I brought the potted one in for the winter and it did very well but not much growth. The one in the ground was going to be ok until that late freeze we had and it mushed all the way down. It put out 3 pups, 2 of which I removed leaving one as the main plant. I had planted the potted one as early as possible and the main plant is smaller than the pups that just popped up on the other one in March.

Bottom line for me is even though it died all the way back, over wintering in ground was a better option.
