SO.... VEINTE COHOL ... what are y'all getting as a typical flowering height?
and just HOW cold surviving is it?

My VC survived winter in Southern California without any issues. Some of the leaves turned brown, but it sprang right back in spring. We had some nights in the mid 30's. I don't think we had anything in the low 30's and no frost in my area.
