I have some in a pot that I protect in winter and will try it in the ground. Plant Delight Nursery/ Tony Avent, gives it a Zone 6 hardiness along with other species and cvs on his web site. Ellen suggest more hardiness for various forms, too. Guess I'll give them a try again. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
