Hi
Here in Gippsland Vic Aust. they are virtually indestructible, we commonly
refer to them as farm weed. Even when you dump them on the ground they grow
well. We must be lucky as far as aggies are concerned they look great up
long drives etc and they really no attention at all, I have some that the
chooks lay their eggs in the middle, the cat even had kittens in the middle
once.

What do you mean by hardy?
The evergreen cultivars grown in southern California are NOT cold hardy.

Exactly where on the planet are you?

If you have to deal with dogs, planting something prickly like miniature
roses, cactus or even thistles might be far more appropriate!!!!
