I was curious about having the s. reginae in the ground here locally so I posted it on another gardening site and several people responded that there are several in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in the ground. I am so surprised because they are not suited for this area AT ALL in the ground. All we need is another bloody cold winter like they had many years ago where it got to single digit numbers and it will be all over for them... as well as our palms and other misc. tropicals that we are always pushing the zones with.
