Re: woodyplants DIGEST V1 #50


Its  growing in the Montreal Botanic gardens 'Hancock garden' zone 5b and I have

tried planting some a few years ago and it overwintered. Its low growing so snow

cover should protect it and a shady spot is usually protected. I would trust
Dirr and even
give him the benefit of the doubt of some zone 6 woodies worth trying.
