Dear Lauw: Just how hardy this species is I do not know. I would like to try some in both Brittany and Normandy. Can I obtain some from you and have you ship them there? In Brittany, where my garden recently won the prize as the best new garden, I have places where it can go to town if it can survive. do let me know. Cheers, John E.
