I tried a couple of times, but always failed even in 28~30F. So I thought
it was not as hardy as it has been told.

We are in the NW corner of FL--just about as close to Canada as we are to the other end of the state (by road). The all time low of 7F came in 1990 and was cold enough to freeze parts of small bays and killed tons of mullet. The Orinocos were killed to the ground that yr--normally, most of the pseudostem will survive and just needs a little cutting back. We have had a couple winters with no frost and that is when I have had blooms before.
