I wonder if part of this issue is that some writers of catalogs, books, and
articles actually do not know the zone limits for plants.  I've seen Zone 7
for more than one plant that I've grown in Zone 4 time and again.  The
author usually lives in Zone 7.  I'm often tempted to write and tell those
people, but I just don't get it done.
