Thanks, ecrane. It's hydrangea seemanii or seamanii. It's an evergreen native of Mexico and reports of it's hardiness ranges zone 9 or zone 8. THe leaves look like camellia leaves. They are very slow growing and I'm trying to use them to cover a fence. They are about 5 years old now and are about 3 feet high and I don't want to lose them. They made it through the last horrible frosty year we had though so they should be OK in this shorter.
