    I see that the "Blue Princess" holly that I just purchased is rated for
    zones 5-8.  Anyone have any experience trying to grow them north of
    Concord, NH?

Don't know how it will do, but for protection you could try
a burlap windscreen.  I did that this past winter in Zone 5 
for a Japanese Holly which I believe is rated Zone 6.  It did a 
lot better than the previous years without it.  Wiltpruf too.

Most hollies are zone 6.  Is Blue Princess a "Meserve"?  Meserve 
is the only holly I know of rated a zone 5.

Also, your particular microclimate will impact the success.  If
the holly is in a protected area or exposed area will make a big
difference.
