You're underestimating the hardiness, the pink form is impossible to kill, the white one is slightly more tender but although the flower buds aborted it still survived -20C here last year.

Thanks for the links but it's colour forms I'm looking for.

"WOW!!! stunningly beautiful slightly nodding pale pink flowers, stained and heavily veined darker, in early spring. Native to S.W. China the plant seems to prefer a well drained humus rich soil, in light dappled shade. Plant in the lee of cold winter winds, warm sheltered site. Limited availability"

Full sun in my garden, survived weeks of being frozen solid this time last year. Shelter? None.

They always are like that but turn green as the foliage grows, not sure if it's because of night frosts or because of the sun.

What particular color forms are you looking for, Mark? The white one should be pretty common, never noticed any difference between those supposed to be "red" and the regular pink one...

This one is called "red" by a friend in the Eastern U.S.  I think
she imported it from Chen Yi and grows it outside in her woodland.

I have never seen such a dark one here in the West.
