Dear Ingrid,
G. x oxonianum is hardy here in continental USA zone 6
(see signature for more on my conditions)
I think x. oxonianum parents are G. endressii
(variously listed as hardy to -15C tp-35C) and
G. versicolor ( only listing -15C). The one hardiness
listing I found for x. oxonianum was -35C)
The books with the hardier ratings are American; the
least hardy ratings are all from Brittish books.
