Walter,
Dirr lists Loropetalum as Zone 8 to 9, but I know a few people who are
trying it around Washington, DC and a few sites north of there. The late
Dr. J. C. Raulston of NC State was a proponent of the species and grew
it in Raleigh. The Arnold is also working with it. I suspect that it can
be grown in Zone 7 and possibly Zone 6, if properly sited. I agree that
it is stunning in the south, but I have not been impressed with the few
specimens I've seen closer to the Mason-Dixon, no matter how many times
I've been told that it is a "must have".
