I have had this plant about 5 years, bought from a local nursery. Haven't seen a bloom since that time. It leafs up every spring, but never blooms. I have tried to informally winter protect with leaves -- this didn't help. Next winter I will more carefully protect it. But generally, I would suggest this is not hardy for zone 6.
