| Jerry I was going to use your words exactly - they grow like weeds in California too. Very tolerant of high and low temps and they love the sun. My neighbor has a giant BofP that I get to enjoy over the fence; it is almost as tall as their two story house. They are not gardeners by any means and it is flourishing in a terrible clay soil and never fertilized. When we built these houses I had all the clay removed from my growing areas and they did not. It seems to be in constant bloom and doubles in size (width) about every two years; it could easily be divided.
