Default Farfugium japonicum "Aureomaculatum"

I picked up one of these at a small local nursery yesterday. It was purely
an impulse buy. I'm a sucker for variegated foliage, and this plant, aka
leopard plant, stopped me in my tracks with its glossy green leaves with
bright yellow spots.

I've poked around on the web a bit, looking for cultural information, and am
reading conflicting reports. It's listed as a zone 7 plant, but others
report success with it in zone 6. I'll be planting it in a moist, slightly
shady spot, and mulching it well.

Is anyone growing this plant? How has it done for you? Have you
overwintered it in zone 6? Did you do anything special to protect it over
the winter?

Or should I grow it as a container plant? In that case, what would be the
best way to store it indoors over the winter--how moist, what range of
temperatures,etc.

Thanks in advance for any replies,
Cheers,
Sue
