I really don't know if it will grow in a hot climate. Keep it watered often and it should be alright.

It seems to survive pretty dry periods here, though my soil is not sandy. It's very high quality seed though, and not too pricey, so you might want to try it.

I can't give you a definitive answer. However, my first planting got lots of water for a few weeks, compliments of nature, and now, in dry weather, is really thriving. Some planted in dry weather without watering is growing very slowly. I will be planting more today in somewhat sandy soil but with watering. It appears to be a really great no-mowing ground cover, favored around here by rabbits, turkeys and deer as well as me. Good luck.

my soil is sandy and it seems to grow well here. we had a dry summer and it did better than the grass did. I cannot say for sure but I would give it a try.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

Hello , by the name , this plant came from the very cold area , I think it will be ok in yours. Try to grow at very sunny location where snow melts fast , and close to your house , the hit helps a lot and the first few years , try to cover it's trunk . Good luck .

I've had my plant about 9 months and it is about 2 feet tall and getting bushy. I live in a cold climate so it is in the south window and the temp at night is about 50 and in the day can get into the 75-80 range. My friend in Arizona has his potted on his patio and reports that his is a bit taller and bushier than mine.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

Because you don't get excessive cold weather anytime soon would probably work. 60 degree weather should be ok to put out seeds. Plenty of sun and keep moist to promote germination.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.

We live in Northern Arizona where the climate is cold winters with a growing season May to October. There are problems with these seeds. Germination was pretty good - maybe 80%. Some things are growing and harvesting moderately well, others quite well. The spinach, chard, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower grew nice plants with no harvest or product at all on them. Strange. Tomatoes are nice. Jalapenos are fair. cilantro is fairly productive. Squashes put on small and few product. I recommend a different seed company.

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

Hi Sandra...wish I knew the answer to your question....but I, too, am having trouble with my Money Tree looking a little droopy. I have noticed the very tips of the leaves are turning brown....I purchased this plant in June 2013 and I don't know if I should try repotting and buy some fertilizer for it....the pot measures 5.50" x 4.00" (oval size)...and it does look to be too small. My plant is now 9 months old and has grown to 16".....I'm not sure I have it in the right space....I have it in front of a window that faces South, but the window isn't very bright due to the patio overhang. I know this e-mail hasn't answered your question...but thought I'd let you know that I, too, am wondering what is my next step....good luck, TJ

hi! I live in zone 7b and the root I planted is growing indoors very well. I am planning to set it outside in a container as soon as the weather is hot. I understand turmeric likes it hot.

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;>

Mine is inside in Pennsylvania. It's outside now in 80 degree sunshine, and loves the rain, however I have had a few problems with it drying, it doesn't like full sun. I hope this helps out a little bit! It's a hardy plant. I've sat it out in the sun and it didn't rain for a couple days before I realized it needed water. The plant has grown back even when I thought it was dead.

Not sure my last message went out. I have been very pleased with this seed and it does grow with very little soil. I simply rake the ground, plant the seed and have been very pleased with this product. Jim in Arkansas

it grew well in Florida, though during the hotter days I needed to water more. Honesty I would contact the company if I were you. Maybe there is another time of year you an grow (after the frost). I bought 3 packages. I really liked it.

I think you can still plant it as it will grow as long as it's warm. Mine came up within 3 days of planting so it would still have all of August and September to grow. If you are in Texas like me, it will have October and part of November to grow. If you get some blooms, they will turn into seeds you can plant next year.
