This variety is supposed to be hardy to zone 6 as well as American Beautyberry, Purple Beautyberry and Welche's Pink Beautyberry. Seems like you might do ok with these if you mulch them well and/or plant them near foundation on south side?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
