I have had success with this plant in zone 7A. I bought a gallon size plant and planted it a little high last spring (2024) because I suspected the problem that other growers were having was crown rot. The plant did really well last summer, attracting lots of pollinators - the bees were on it constantly! I should have given it the Chelsea Chop this year, because it's taller than I would prefer for its location, but it did come back nice and full, and expanded a bit. So my suggestion is that if you grow this plant, plant it a little high. I didn't even protect this plant over the winter and it was fine. I suggest avoiding too much fertilizer and excessive water, and the plant will do well for you. It looks really graceful when the wind comes through the long stems.
