I have had Arts And Crafts here for about eight years. It took a hit from an unusually cold snap in the Winter that year so I moved it to near the East side of my house where the heat from the house and some covering with sheets in the Spring allowed it to thrive OK. It is a gorgeous flower with large blooms of thick substance, diamond texture, and super ruffling, but here only produces about 5 to 7 flowers per scape. It is in the "white" group as far as color, but tends to bloom on the yellow side more. It will probably bloom more white if grown in full sunlight. I definitely would recommend it to anyone in USDA Zone 8 and 9, but because of it's relative tenderness, not for Zones 6 or lower.
