Scott, I tried growing some last year. It was growing beautifully in the
shade, getting big, lots of nice dark green leaves. Then, I went out one
morning and some @#$$$%^&* critter had dug it up! I don't know if it was
ground squirells, possums or what. I tried re-potting it, but it never
came
back. So besides the growing instructions, I would recommend that you
'critter-proof' the growing area. Funny, they haven't done this to any of
the other asian plants we grow.

Any idea how cold-tolerant the stuff is (or better yet, what "zones"
it's good for)? I'd love to grow some as well, but I'm concerned that
it might get a bit cold here in Colorado. I guess I could always try
to over-winter it in the garage or basement...
