OK, so I've taken the plunge and ordered a couple plumeria, and started a couple from seed also. They're not hardy in my Zone 8a, so I need to decide how I'm planning on overwintering them. I've got no basement, no shed (that stays above freezing anyway). Could maybe find room in the garage, or could try to keep them indoors. Is it better to let them go dormant in a cold garage or try to keep them alive at indoor temperatures?

My other choice is, if indoors, either a sunny south facing window with cats and regular room temp air, or put them away in the room I start seeds in which has almost no natural sun. I do have grow lights but I'm not sure if they'll be too tall to fit under them, but the room is quite warm from the lights and heat mats and protected from the cats...

Decisions, decisions... any advice? Help please, I don't want to kill these before they ever bloom!
