Description

>>>>>In Lawrence, KS (zone 6a), many dozen established specimens survived -17 degrees F. During the arctic blast of February, 2021, lows down to -17 degrees F on Feb 16th, 2021 were recorded. The longevity of this cold blast was also impressive: 10 days on a row with highs of 10-15 degrees F or lower, 8 nights of lows in the single digits and negatives, and 36 strait hours of 0 degrees F and mostly lower. All survivors had winter sun with South exposures, those without perrished. Repeated or successive cold winters with complete foliage loss seem can be an issue with this and many evergreen zone 6/7 plants. One occasional difficult winter followed by mild winters is more tolerable. This is, however, a very vigorous growing plant so generally will recover in one summer. Avoid North-facing exposures, North sides of a berm, and spots with excessive snow accumulation.
