J. officinale is definitely deciduous throughout most of England, except
for the south, west and London. Bean states that J. polyanthum must
have protection even at Kew. But note that many locations against
houses do count as protection.

You don't need a very cold winter - anything except a very mild one
will cause the effects I am referring to.
