Hello all,

I live in zone 5 and have seen a few sources advertizing fusias hardy in zone 5. I am puzzled, are there any that overwinter in zone 5? If so, are they similar to the ones you see with the pretty blooms? I understand, if they do survive, they are desiduous. Can anyone help me answer those questions?

Or better yet, anyone has been succesfull growing them outdoors in zone 5.

What are the varieties and are they as impressive as the great-blooming cultivars?

Thanks,

Kris in Chicago
