Jim:

All Zantedeschia aethiopica cultivars should be good to -5 to -8 =F in the
ground for short bursts at this temp.  Prolonged cold much below 0 degree=s
F would probably require a mulch for safe passage into next spring.  If y=ou
buy into the global warming scenario, you should now be a zone 6b/7a and
they will be fine.  Z. aethiopicas grown here survived our -9F blast back
in 1983/84.  I hope this helps.
