Steve,
I have read that C. oliganthum is cold hardy to Zone 7 and being in the
americanum/erubescens line this is believable. This is my first season with
this plant and I intend to winter it in the ground in a moist sheltered
position with a bit of extra mulch. I am fairly confident I will see this
one pop back up next spring.

Jay
