 As newer cultivars have been found to be more cold hardy, the cultivated range has continued to spread farther north with some being planted around Chicago. 'Bracken's Brown Beauty', [http://www.archiplanet.org/wiki/House_that_Lives%2C_The#Discussion 'Edith Bogue'] and '24 Below' are some of the most cold hardy varieties.
