Default does anyone know about Cornus hongkongensis?

Wondering if anyone is growing or has any knowledge of this pretty Cornus?
Rumour has it it will even grow in sodden clay! Which describes quite
well the spot I have it in. I got it from a nursery last year where it
had frozen quite badly and lost all it's leaves, there was some dieback
but it did manage to put out some decent leaf in June and is still
holding, looking quite pretty right now. Mine is very small but I'm
hoping if I can establish it, it will take a bit of cold. Apparently
this species is less hardy than C. angustata.

Thanks,

-E
