I doubt it's hardy to 0F. Maybe root hardy? I believe foliage was damaged at the SF Botanical Garden in 1990, when temperatures dipped deep into the 20s F for a week. Such a pretty plant, seemingly carefree about our chilly summers and the most tropical-looking of all the NZ aralias.

Thats what I was afraid of low 20’sF. Oh well hopefully I can enjoy this shrub for a few years, Thanks for your honest opionin Jason. BTW the shrub I got from you a few years ago is blooming nicely this spring and summer. Love this plant, I’m going to get a variegated one next. Thanks for your help.

Nice ! I ordered some P. ferox. Those will be my first P's - not sure they are even similar to this one. A variegated one exists? I'm sure it's pretty!
