I'm in zone 8, right on the line of a-b. A couple of mine over-wintered for the first time last year. They came up all over the yard from the popping seeds. Our lowest temps last winter were around 26 degrees for three or four nights. Thats unusually warm. Katrina laid some of the limbs down on the ground, but I left them there. They just kept right on trucking.

These babies are definitely the star of the show, though.

Edited to add that I use Cassia Alata for shade for my gingers. 'Works very nicely!
