What a remarkably beautiful bloom!!! I have questions about it, if you please. I read under "Information", it says "Type of plant: Alpines...". To me, the word "Alpine" indicates cold; could be cold nights, could be snow, could be dry cold. Am I off base?
On the other hand, everything else I find about it shows that it will not tolerate very cold conditions, nor wet ones.

I don't think those zones get cold weather very often. sunkissed wrote:
