I have tried repeatedly to grow these. They go great guns for a coupl'a years then....ffffzzzzzt. I got another start from someone last year, then had some major regrading and a retaining wall built right where I had planted it. Against all odds, it came up, right at the edge of where sod had been planted. Yay!!
Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
--John Milton
