C. europeaum is a discontinued name for either C purpurascens (which is
not hardy) and C.repandum forms.

It's certainly not hardy in Caithness, I agree! But, given that it
has naturalised in a dozen or so locations in England and Wales,
there is a sense in which it has to be hardy.

In the autumn I planted C purpurascens, bought from an expert at the
local Hardy Plant Society who told me to treat it like C hederifolium
but moister in summer. It looks perfectly healthy after moderate frosts
and a couple of inches of snow.
