this ninebark i think is diablo. need some ninebark information/help.

I have a very hot and windy south west location here in Southern BC Canada....I want to plant some ninebark. One will go directly into ground and another want to plant in pot to keep it small. I have auto sprinkling sytem for them.

1. will the ninebark survive the extreme heat we tend to get in summer?

2. want to know if all ninebarks will survive in pots during summer and over winter...or do I need to take the pots into my unheated garage.

hope someone will read this and be of some help.
