I brought some seeds here a few years ago and tried it a few times-- never with any success. The slugs got most of it, and what did survive didn't get huge and had that miserable look that made me think we're too warm (9b, although i can grow artichokes and kale just fine). I bet it would do better in colder places, and if you've got slugs/snails I would start it in containers or whatever and only transplant out once they're strong enough to stand up to a slug or two.
(I bought it because it was advertised as loving heavy clay, which is very much what I have)
