I received a small plant, grown from seed in 2015. Unfortunately it didn't survive the first winter, but fortunately it flowered it's beautiful, magenta flowers first. It is native to the San Francisco area in California, so it's probably too tender and the best bet to keep it alive is probably to store it in a cold frame over winter.
