If i can get a 2nd pot of it going, I may try leaving it outside all winter 'just to see' and bring it in only on nights where it will get below 40°. Last year the coldest night at my house was 36°. I am definitely seeing some green on the one rhizome that I planted. but I've had 3 that rotted
Thanks again for the info. Doesn't matter where you got your info, I appreciate you passing it on as well as your experience with it.
