The banana shrub would be best to purchase now as they are rare and availability is not garanteed. As for growing it, it should be marginally hardy outside, I grew one out back that did not make it. I have put another one in this year at my house in a good winter sunny microclimate that is protected by fences and has good sun and heat boost so we'll see. I do know that it is successfully grown in zone 7b so it is not out of the question but probably needs good siting and several establishment years under winter protection.
