I hear that if you are somewhat arid it will come back from the roots at Z7. An aggie said that on the Aggie-hort. site..

It had 7" of rain in 12 months and no irrigation on a gravely hill under some water sucking cedars and still it bloomed. They have been a long lived perennial for me showing no slacking off.
