I. chrysographes is hardy in my garden which is fully Zone 3.
I bought my original plant from a garden in Montana which was
also in Zone 3. I plan to start some from seed this year simply
because I love the series.
As a small aside, all the 40-chromosome Siberians that I have
tried have flouished here - I attribute that to the continuous
snow cover (my white mulch) that Glenn wrote so terrifically
about yesterday. :)
Cheers,
Ellen (where it is 60 degrees and the snow is GONE from the
hillside making me anxious and also making a fibber
out of me when I talk about our "continuous snow
cover :)
