It's root hardy here but since it blooms on second year growth, it's not at all reliable since we usually get that one freeze that knocks it down. I grow it in pots and it is easy to protect for me. I pull them in on my covered patio. The bloom grows downward and I've had them as long as a foot and a half. Very impressive. I'm going to send you some when I get your box together.
