I have one growing in 4b... it seems to have found a niche in which it will survive. It has never bloomed, but the foliage is a nice gray with interesting texture.

The slightly sprawling 6-8-inch plants produce hundreds of 1-inch yellow daisies from the middle of May through the end of June. As summer heat builds, the foliage begins to take on it characteristic "dusty" look.
Overhead watering or high humidity will result in greener foliage and cause plants to melt out.
