Cindi:
Caryopteris is quite hardy here in zone 6b and I know someone growing a 
handful of these plants in a borderline 6A/5B garden.  So, yes, they are hardy  
Though I've not had mine reseed or mysteriously move 4 feet.  I've heard funny 
things can happen in those zone 7 gardens.
I do cut back my Caryipteris to about 12/18 inches in early spring once I've 
seen growth starting.  Much like buddleia.
