Linda, I was hoping some more knowledgable soul would tackle this but at
least I can point you at the Arilbred Society Int'l website where
there's good info on culture of ABs plus some enticing photos:

I just ordered my 1st ABs for July delivery & have high hopes of their
doing well in my Zone 4 garden. I tried to select ones that have a high
percentage of Regelia in their ancestry because this suggests more cold
tolerance but really, the biggest issue for health seems to be lots of
sun, good drainage & dry conditions in the summer. Normally, that's what
I can offer on my steep slope so wish me luck!
