I have had this variety planted on the north/west side of my house where it gets HOT later-in-the-afternoon temperatures in the summer for over 3 years. It also goes quite dry, as this area is not irrigated, though the soil is rich. It is planted along a walkway, so it is subjected to extreme heat and cold (zn 5), and does not bat an eye. The photos which have been posted are quite nice, though I wonder if the coloration varies with location, as mine does not develop the silver marbling. I think this variety would look best planted in close quarters with light colored neighbors (greys/blues), or in a spot that brings out the silver coloring.
