I grow a large collection of Cransebills here in the UK.

Re G. renardii.  It comes from the Caucasus if that helps with your
frost question, I would have thought it would be fine in your zone.  It
can be a shy flowerer, a sparse diet helps here (no manure!)

G. sylvaticum 'Mayflower' (Wood Cranesbill) is a plant that likes damp
soils, best sheared to near ground level when flowering is over, this
helps rejuvenate the plant and a further flowering is possible depending
on climate and situation.

Hope this helps!
