Planted this little darling spring of 2007 - she's done great!! All kinds of new growth so far this year. My understanding is that she is hardy to at least 7A - we had a mild winter so I can't comment on that as yet but so far - so good. This one also appears to be more tolerant of direct sun then others I have.
