Sedum rupestre 'Lemon Ball' ZONE Help

I bought one of these last year and it was incredible, but didn't survive the winter in zone 5. Some places list this as zone 7-9 and others 3-10
Id love to grow it again, but not sure if it will survive.
Also, is this the same plant as Mexican Sedum?

RE: Sedum rupestre 'Lemon Ball' ZONE Help

Well, I grow Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' which is very similar in appearance and it does just fine for me. It had no problem surviving last winter which was more like a zone 4 winter than a zone 5 winter. We had little snow cover and temps that approached 15 below F. It had no protection at all and came through just fine.

IMO, it should do fine for you, but I don't know how you were growing it.
