If you put them in the ground in Z8, they can spend winters having an ideal dormancy, and in the spring, you can pry up a few around the edges to take up north. If you put some in the ground in Z6 in a spot that doesn't get soggy when it rains, and cover them with a decent pile of leaves, they could survive there anyway, with little danger of spreading wantonly beyond the designated area.
Be careful where you put them in Z8, they *never* stop creeping. Not suitable in a "flower bed" with other plants. Being surrounded by regularly-mowed area or some kind of concrete barrier is safe. |
