Is this totally hardy spritz? My bible seems to imply it isn't but Beth Chatto says it shoots from the base like a hardy fuchsia

AAAAAAH!!!!! Why didn't I ask them???? Why didn't they tell me????RHS book indeed says not frost hardy. I shall KILL my friend at that Nursery! (Fortunately it was a local Nursery's stand) I shall ring them tomorrow and ask them. Many thanks for spotting that, Andrew. It was to fill a gap in my top border so it was important and looked perfect for the space..... A few minutes later.... I've checked it out on several websites and they say 'mild area', 'hardy to -12 degrees' and 'can be grown in a sheltered sunny position outdoors' - I shall still ask the Nursery, though!

This reminds me of White Snakeroot Spritz..........which is Eupatorium rugosum. It's white. It's also hardy up in Canada (Zone 3a) so maybe that would work for you? It's a native wildflower here and I can collect seeds for you if you want. It likes shade or part shade.
