winter...howsomever, it is well worth growing for the foliage alone. If
you can give it a bit of a warmer, more sheltered microclimate to sort of
boost it towards z.6, it will be more likely to bloom every year.

Pottsey, I'm sure I've seen this plant in the chicago area, in bloom. So I
imagine if it does okay for them you shouldn't have to much problem with it.
