I am trying hard not to say anything negative, but they are a problem in my neighborhood. The seedlings that are spread by the feeding birds crop up everywhere in every bed, but are easy to identify and pull out. This was a shrub that I loved growing up at my parent's house.

They're one zone out of my hardiness range, but if I can find one, I might just try it. I've been known to try to push zones before. And for some odd reason (knock wood), no cat who has ever lived with me bothers my indoor plants.
