Does anyone know the cold hardiness of Musa coccinea and Musa beccarrii?

Thanks!

musa coccinea can survive zone 8b or 9a:)

Musa Beccarii will not survive zone 9 Gulf Coast more than 2 years. If it comes back at all, it is much weaker and disappears the following year.

And Coccinea (Uranoscopus) is very reliable in zone 9 Gulf Coast blooming every summer even if knocked to the ground. Much nicer bloom than Beccarii.
