I think I'll just give up on m. beccarii. Too bad too, because I really like the bloom. Steve, I know of a few folks growing m. coccinea in zone 7 that say it comes back for them every year. I have it also, but haven't left it in the ground for a winter yet. Had to dig it up and bring it with me to Knoxville from Nashville. I should have some hardiness reports next year of some zone 7a winners and losers. The fact that yours hasn't even died down to the ground yet in zone 9 is promising, to me anyway.
