I have seen this plant growing and blooming in Mission, BC. Canada (zone 7b-8a) It is growing in a shrub form. It has seeds on an annual basis which achieve about 50% germination. The seedlings are very difficult to transplant. Once established, it does well. We do get temperatures down to 25 F. It lives in a micro-climate on the south sunny side of the house.
Fully mature shrubs can be moved! I moved two 6m shrubs at the beginning of winter. They look great and are growing well.
Method.
Circumferential root ball trench to aprox 1m, wrap with biddum with flaps to cover roots when extracted, bind with hessian rope which will disintegrate. Tip to one side and sever roots. Close biddum flap and bind to top of root ball. Roll onto tarp and lift or slide to new position. (took 8 men!) Make large holes in bottom of root ball biddum before rolling into new position. Drip water for 2 weeks.
Pics available.
