What zones can Crema Rose grow in?
Crema Rose is hardy in USDA Zones 4–10. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.
Is Crema Rose deer resistant?
Not reliably. Deer may browse Crema Rose, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.
