Thanks, Fred.
The Poet's Laurel has proven itself to be z6 hardy. When I bought the plant from PDN, years ago, it was rated, like many of their plants, at the time, were listed as hardy only z7b and up. Rather than risk my plant to "z6 elements", believing the plant to be hardy in just z7b and up, the plant got protection, for most of the years, since planting. However, a few years ago, I saw a few naturalized plants pop up, from dropped berries. They were not protected, at all, and have survived actual z6 minimums. So, I think the plant is hardy, when it starts to naturalize, and the volunteers live, healthily, unprotected. A good thing, too, is that it doesn't reproduce enough to be considered invasive.

I remembered you mentioning Sarvisberry trees. I wondered if anyone else had. Nice orange fall color, I think. Indigenous People use service berries, as a staple fruit. Booger Mountain legend is funny, lol.
The Cape Primrose came from Logees, last year. it blooms for a lage part of the year.
