Extremely hardy here in zone 7 Nashville, TN. I covered a small one with a bag-o-leaves last Winter, and it came through just fine. A friend a little north of here planted a small one out in October, didn't protect it at all, and it came back this Spring. They can take temps in the mid-teens with very little, if any, dieback. Keep in mind that hardiness decreases markedly if it's left out in a pot.
