Mine is outside in a pot. P. quercetorum is also hardy.

Matti,
I am interested in your comment that P. endlicherianum is hardy for you there.  How cold does it get in your winters?  Do you have constant snow cover through the winter?
I have tried it here a small number of times with no success at overwintering, and am wondering whether to give it up... or perhaps looking for some faint encouragement to try it again. 
Thanks!

gee, lori, you keep crushing my hopes on some of the plants i most wanted to try...lol...eventually, i still will, since my climate is a bit different, but it does lower my hopes to hear of your losses...

Crushing your hopes, Cohan?!?    Hang around and find out what all does grow here (especially if some more experienced local alpine growers would chime in) and I think you would be encouraged beyond your dreams, LOL!

i'm not worried i wont find things to grow, its just kind of funny, since a few specific things i had thought to try, you have mentioned didnt overwinter for you..lol.. AND  from comments of yours and johnw's, i have realised i have to be a bit --what, less optimistic? --looking at catalogues such as beavercreek's--not that i ever took any suggested hardiness to be a guarantee...

i know there are still more things than i can grow, even with the space i have! nevermind, much more than what i can afford to acquire ..it does, though, make me even more want to grow all those great alberta natives!!

You know, conditions make a huge difference in what one can grow... big differences between the climate of the maritimes (wet, wet, wet) and here...
