Say what?  N. ucranica is usually in the Alpine catalogs if you have found 
it.  A Czech pass around.  They have the best rock gardens for some reason 
and the most intrepid collectors of seed.  I have grown a bunch of these, all 
hardy, but have not bumped into this one.  Maybe an Alpine plant search.  
Most of these sites and the gardeners and seed collectors never give zones.  
They think you should obtain the seed, grow the plant and if it flowers you 
have won one.  If you lose it, that's life in the rock garden.  It is hard to 
get advice on Alpines for all parts of the US. A lot of them die for reasons 
other than zone.  If it sounded good to me, I would try it.
