I lose mine in the ground so I keep put them back into the pot come winter. It gets transplant shock and can't recover in the cold weather and die. The ones in the picture almost croaked but managed to respond to my greenhouse music, and love and care. Even though we are not that cold, these plants can't take it. Soooo, this year, they are going into a pot and staying in the pot when brought in for winter. They will be the closest to the heat source in the greenhouse to boot! Picky! Picky! Picky! I love them still. I do what I have to do to keep plants that don't thrive in my Zone healthy.
