You make me wish it was spring with these nice pics!
I'm not surprised that they do fine in Canada. With the big layer of insulation the snow provides they're probably less likely to freeze than yours are.

Yes, and I've been told the snow also means it's drier than here. Because it's soooo cold the snow does not melt for months on end and the ground underneath is pretty dry. That's why I've been advised that in the UK it's better to cover them to stop them getting cold and wet (cold is fine, but not wet and cold).

I've heard that someone in Scotland growing them in pots had them go down to -14C a couple of years ago and thought it would have killed them all. However while they came up late they DID come back up the next year
