Now that I know my planting zone, I'm trying to make a point to notice the recommended zone on any plants I buy. I'm surprised to have found a plant for sale locally that specifies zone 7, while I live in zone 5. Is it ok to purchase anyway? I wonder if it's a situation where the plant may not reach full potential in this zone - or worse, will it die?
The specific temps for cold hardiness on this plant are 0-10F. In the winter here, it's not unusual to have a few days below 0, but obviously everything is dormant then anyway. I really love the plant and am hoping it can work, but have not purchased yet, because of the zone discrepancy.
