Thats great Frank,
i have yet been able to test hardiness as well, too cold out! But maybe late next summer it will cool down enough without getting too cold that I can test that along side basjoo and Musella lasiocarpa, at least for foliage. Here's a recent picture of the larger of two of mine. It currently has about 10 pups in the mat and is grown in a 5gal.
