I found something mentioning Romneya having been grown in the open in New Jersey. That entry was from a very old garden journal. I'm considering trying a gallon size plant next Spring in my garden.

We have some here that grows along the edge of the road leading to the farm. It's technically on my neighbor's property. She loved it too, at first, but it's so happy where it is that it's swallowing everything in its path. As she started to rip out Romneya volunteers last fall she rediscovered 2 missing Ceanothus, and a Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-66155043559597519142013-01-11T13:58:31.367-08:002013-01-11T13:58:31.367-08:00Yes, the "Fried Egg Plant".

Unless you have a large, natural garden, they can be tough to manage and do not like water in the summer once established, and they often will not establish where you want them.

It will grow well for you here in Washington, maybe even too well as after a couple of years, if they are happy, they spread far and wide. Mine are planted in a parking strip and have sent runners up on the other side of the sidewalk!
