Way, way down the east coast in Melbourne Australia your native Skunk Cabbage has been spotted thriving happily in temperate zone 9/10. A cold winter night would be 0-4deg C. Grown from seed in July 93 in goes dormant in winter then cabbages happily through spring and summer. I have it in big pots immersed in shallow water. It hasn't produced a skunk yet though.
