Michael,
   The dozen plants I managed to buy were tissue cultured.  More are 
available.  I purchased them from someone in Washington State.
   My elevation here is 1480'.  We had no snow this past Winter and 9 of 12 
plants survived.  Normally I do get snow so, if no snow is a requirement, I 
could always put a 5-gallon bucket over them.
