Both that I have had, seem to prefer warmer weather, they look a bit unhappy (as in stop growth) during the coldest weather.

It works for me in z7a Arkansas as does dalenii. Leave one (some) out and see for you. I've had them for years and even with last year going down to a -12 plunge, they made it.
