In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory, or grow outdoors in containers or hanging baskets during summer. In warmer climates, grow in a border.

Hardiness en: Frost tender, but may tolerate falls in temperature to around -3°C (27°F), or perhaps lower, if soil is very sharply drained.
