In my country it is common in the nature, but only alongside with arroyos, that is where water flows in winter and some humidity remains during the dry season. Definitely needs water !

I remember seeing this years ago when we visited France every year. It was growing by the roadside and clearly loved the heat. This is a delicate colour

Is it hardy where you live, Luc? Let's hope it flowers every year from now on.

some say it is as a result of climate change, Amelia. We can provide shelter in times of severe frost.
