So far mine are prospering in my zone 6 garden. They are planted on the north side of the house which gets late afternoon sun. They lose their leaves after the coldest part of the winter, but grow new ones within 3 weeks of warmer weather. They don't lose their leaves every year, only in years of extremely frozen conditions.

A beautiful rounded evergreen that blooms here in early March. The fragrance is delightful and so welcome at that time of year. Mine is by the front porch steps, north side, shade with a little morning sun.
