They survived this past winter just fine and I'm north of you. The burgundy is the unfriendly version. That plant definitely gets you coming and going. A softer, kinder version sounds like a great idea.

I don't have the finger friendly frazzle-dazzle but have other dyckias out front along the street where they have survived heat, drought, and several hard freezes so far. Nearly every Fall I end up digging them out to pull Bermuda grass away and they shrug the disruption off. I thought mine weren't blooming but realized this year the problem is our deer are eating the flower stalks. So - forewarned - if you want to get the chance to actually see your dyckia flowers, be sure to put yours well away from Bambi and Company!
