Chantell, Yes, Yes, Yes, I have seen plants in Lowes (when I worked there) that I knew were not hardy in our zone. The tags even said that they were only hardy to zone 7 not our zone 6 and they had them mixed in and marked with the perennial plants. Yes, the Lowes in Zone 7 can sell these as perennials but our Zone 6 Lowes can't. I know that Lowes is just a big box store not a good nursery but really that is not the way it should be done. Finding that in a good nursery is even worst and the other thing is get some D%#@ proper plant tags on these plants. I am so tired of going to pricey Greenhouse/nurseries and finding plants with generic plant tags.
