Peg, you shouldn't have any problem with this plant in the Alexandria area. We've had one growing in our gardens for over 5 years and it's a cold, cold Z6a here! Don't remember which cultivar this one is, Kim from Niche Gardens gave it to my husband years ago and it overwintered in a greenhouse for 2 years before we ever even planted it. It didn't like us much the first year but it decided to forgive us and is very happy (on the left in the photo) planted next to another questionably hardy plant for us - Rostrinucula http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/86141/index.html - supposedly Z7b!
