I went back and looked at my notes from the WH class I took at Dawes. What they said about AP was, during the year we had -25 and -30 for a about a week, it died to the ground, then grew back, so they don't recommend it because it died to the ground, when others did not. I don't have down what year that was that I took the class, but I think it must have been about 12 years or so ago. The year of that cold, I was -34 by my therm. where I live, which is quite a bit north of Dawes.

I am glad you have said AP has done well for people in the cold other than this info I had from Dawes - because the one I got in that raffle had exceptional shape, and I planted it right beside my front door. :-) It's full shade, but rather bright shade, and the long, full bright blooms just light that area up in the early spring.

Here is a photo of it from 04... boy has it grown! I will have to get a new photo of the entire plant this winter.
