We grew it in southeast Alaska where the summer temp seldom got above seventy degrees and it thrived on a diet of fish guts/heads. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-26929216558625274062017-02-16T16:38:38.954-06:002017-02-16T16:38:38.954-06:00Congrats on success!

I think I'll get a few more plants this spring and put them in various parts of the yard, hoping that I can get enough water to at least some of them.

And it likes heat. So a nice warm spot and plenty of water will keep it happy.
