I had also read the flowers scent was lilly of the valley like but I do not find that as true. The scent is not wafting, it is of medium strength and to me it is not pleasant, though not repulsive either. Online opinions about cold hardiness are very controversial from USDA zone 5 on US sutes to -5C (USDA zone 9) on the English plant name tag. But since England does not get harsh cold weather as much as the USA, I hope it is cold hardy at least to my USDA zone 7b. Will let you know in the future.
Update 27 Feb 2021:
Has stood -13C (10F) for a shor time.
Stems break in storms due to the strong wind and also under wet snow. See picture attached.
