Nancy - I don't think my pool deck will smell very nice after a spring rain if I follow you potting suggestions to the letter but I get the idea.
I have to disagree too with the idea that the Big Box Stores in my area would only sell warm growing plants. Their plant departments are outdoors year round here and my wife brought home a Miltonia (pansy type) in bloom, thinking it must be heat tolerant because they had it outside. Once home, it quickly dropped its flowers and wilted. It is now sitting on a window sill for the summer and will winter outside - and has perked up nicely in the air conditioning.
The cym is an outdoor plant only and it has two new growths on it - it grows well, I just don't know if it will bloom in the heat. If it doesn't this spring, I'll repot and try one more season. If nothing then, it will probably be headed to a new home or in to the garden as a shrub...
