How hardy is this shrub/tree and has anyone grown it? Any information is greatly appreciated.

"Depending on the severity and duration of freezing temperatures, plants may mature to heights of 10 to 20 feet tall, with plants in frost-free or protected areas growing tallest. Limited experience in the Phoenix metro area suggests that Hierons are hardy to 20 degrees F. Some frost injury to branch tips has been observed at temperatures below freezing. The roots are very cold hardy so even plants that freeze to the ground grow back rapidly in spring. Garrocha grows best in full sun and well-drained soils and can tolerate severe pruning during the winter. Winter pruning helps shape the plant and encourages the development of abundant new wood that will supports additional flowers. "

it's likely zones 8-10 or so...but you can do a quick search on it.
