Jim,
The map at the WI Herbarium site shows it growing in Iowa, Lafayette, and 
Rock counties in southern WI.   Will it grow farther north?  I don't know; 
but, if you could find someone in those areas who could provide seed from 
that provenance, they might be your best bet to thrive or survive in your 
site.
