@JB, I do think it's the same one or a close relative. I was posting pictures of ours in the Photos and Chat thread this morning.
Probably better to grow these in the North where they're less likely to *cough* colonize, like this one we have is! I went out to dig out some of the volunteers and discovered that in several places it's just been cut back, not really dug out, so there are three little baby bushes around the base of the big one.
There they be. They stayin'. Maybe a little grove would be nice.
