We didn't have a real cold winter, but I didn't exclude water from the ground so I got some rot in the main stem. I thought I lost it completely. The plant is pushing up 3 pups now, so I will be more careful next winter.

JoeReal grows them successfully in Davis, CA (zone 9 [/14 with some marine influence]), and gave me mine.

Good luck!
