I don't have a clear idea about how hardy this species is and there have been
a couple of times that it would be good to have that information from the
horse's mouths, as it were.

Anybody out there in fairly cold climes--like colder zone five, or even zone
four--- growing and flowering I.albicans? And are you sure you have the real
thing? 

I. albicans is native to areas around  the Mediterranean Sea, but it is a
curious botanical fact that some natives of warm climates are surprisingly
hardy.
