Crinum 'Elizabeth Traub'

Dear Friends,
I have been wondering about the hardiness of Crinum
'Elizabeth Traub'. This is supposedly a hybrid of "Ellen Bousanquet'
x C. scabrum. Both are marginal here - they survive, but bloom every
other year or less.

Any chance Crinum 'Elizabeth Traub' is any hardier than just
'Ellen B' ?

Anyone have experience with both and in a cold climate.

By the way 'Ellen B' x bulbispermum produced 'Super Ellen'
which is very hardy and a winner.

Thanks for info. Jim W.
