dracunculus hardiness

From: sholtzma at sunflower.bio.indiana.edu (stacy holtzman) on 1997.10.22 at 17:32:30(1464) Hi all, I will probably purchase some dracunculus vulgaris next spring, and I actually saw a hardiness zone 5 in one of my catalogs. Is this possible? Is there any other aroider out there that lives in zone 5 (probably considered zone 5b, I live in Bloomington, IN)? What other hardy aroids besides arisaema can be grown as hardy perennials? Oh, and another plant of interest - I would like to put some arum italicum out, but the zone hardiness varies between 4 and 7. What's the scoop on it? Thanks STacy +More Stacy Holtzman sholtzma@sunflower.bio.indiana.edu --- Biology Dept., Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 ---
