From: Steve Marak <samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2011.09.13 at 19:42:28(22198) It should be perfectly hardy there - it is here in NW Arkansas, also zone 6b but with occasional lower temperatures. However, here many of the Asian arisaemas seem to "fail to thrive" and disappear over the course of several years. They come back each year, but with less vigor, until some year they don't show up at all. I don't know for sure whether this is simply me not siting them correctly, or if there are diseases here that eventually kill them. (We do have the arisaema rust in the area, for instance, though I've never seen it on any plant in my yard.) I have a couple of tender Asian arisaemas that I grow in pots in the greenhouse, and by contrast they seem to stay vigorous and increase. (The only problem with them is they don't ever seem to go dormant, and I owe a couple of people offsets of them.)

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at googlemail.com> on 2011.09.14 at 05:38:14(22199) Without a shadow of doubt there are two factors that contributed to this declining reapparance. One is plants emerging "too early" in the year and being set-back by cold and the other is the growing season too short. The former issue is very tough to counteract as the emergence 'trigger' seems to be in-built and not triggered by external conditions. One may to counteract this is the 'old fashioned' method of a deep mulch such as bracken but even then the new shoots grow so quickly they will often etiolate badly. Regarding short grwoing seasons (and thus declining tuber size year-on-year) the ebst way is to really pack in the fertilizer when plants are active. Wilbert does this on his Amorphs and gets the most remarkable tuber-results in a short growing season. Peter.

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2011.09.13 at 23:39:37(22200) I have some growing here in Milwaukee, but they’re planted relatively close to the foundation of the house. Also, although we’re rated as Zone 5a, it’s been many years since we’ve gotten below –10F (-23C).

From: Zanezirklejr at aol.com on 2011.09.14 at 12:44:42(22202) We have gotten temps from 7-17* F the last couple of winters, I did have 4 calla lillies to come back which surprised me. I forgot to dig them up. In a message dated 9/13/2011 3:43:31 P.M.
