I keep hearing from folks on both sides of the fence on that one. I do however hear from more claiming they've successfully overwintered their M. lasiocarpas, some with minimal or no protection.
Here in Rochester, NY (zone 6) we are emerging from a couple-week cold-spell. The night time lows have been about 30°F (some nights down into upper 20's) and daytime hights have barely hit 45°F. With my Musellas outside, I thought they'd get some damage, but fortunately they are fine... so I'd say they can tolerate at least that much cold. How long for is my next question.
