Winter 2011/2012 : min.-17C (this winter was one of the strongest in the last years, with several strong freezing periods with minimums under -16). This plant almost reached -18 limit and was covered with blanket. It was affected by frost and oldest bottom leafs shriveled in spring. The plant in spring looked like its going to die, but it got over it and in summer started to grow.
