jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated March 30, 2015 I received Firefighter last May and it didn't make it through my southern California summer. I replaced it with Oklahoma, because I saw that it did well in my friend's garden. It's doing great for me so far and we are having a hea...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated March 29, 2015 e596423, a pot that doesn't touch the soil might work, but you'd still want it to be the Japanese or American kind and not Chinese. I'd be happy to send you a rooted Amethyst Falls for postage, actually :) Then you wouldn't have t...
