I may rig up a snail house, er, cover for it this winter and see if
that helps.

As I have posted before, I managed to get Passiflora incarnata to go
(flowering now!) by planting it in the rain shadow of the house,
where its roots can run out. And Cyclamen coum is almost completely
hardy and will even naturalise itself in such conditions (which may
include under conifers).

I don't know if that trick would help with it.
