Yes you can but not to deep in Frost.
I keep them not under -5C

Sounds like it would do ok in zone 6b. Where did you buy this? Plant Delights mentions them, but doesn't have it currently in stock.

You are correct this is the first one. It is from an imoport 2years ago from japan. This is the best one one 2 others which are not so strong i cuttted the flwoers and tryed to opplinate this one.
Selfing and with pollen from one of the others before I cutted it.

So what is the other plant.

Ha, ha, missed this thread til now. The Cremastra is just about in flower in the local woods, in fact I went up a mountain after work yesterday hoping to video one, but they all are still in bud. Cool spring this year has made them flower late.

Nice californicum!
