    I got this plant last fall from a gentleman in Surrey - he had several but would keep them inside during the winter. But now, for the life of me, I can not remember the name of the plant (which I am embarassed to admit). But I do know the following about it:
    1) is is listed as (marginally) zone 8 and above - a tender perennial
    2) it perfers partial shade
    3) it is not commonly found in the lower mainland - I was surprised to find it
    4) it is currently about 3ft tall but will get much larger

    Thanks,
