New Zealand Flax

I saw a TV program last week that discussed the wonderful architectural form 
provided by New Zealand flax, but they indicated that it was hardy in zonex 
9 and 10, so I sort of wrote it off.

I'm snowed in today (our first measurable snowfall in 3 years turned into 
about a foot of snow) and used to opporunity to pore over some of the 
catalogs that have been stacking up.  And, lo and behold, Wayside Gardens 
has Phormium cookianum 'Flaming' in the spring catalog.  It is listed as 
zones 7-10.  Anyone know anything about the hardiness of this plant?  It's 
pretty pricey ($34 for a 1 gal pot) so I don't want to waste my money if 
it's out of the question!

Thanks for any input you can offer!
