| Posted by mjsponies (Central Florida) on Dec 16, 2017 7:45 AM This plant really doesn't like cold. Early December 2017 temperatures in Central Florida dipped to 35º early morning for a couple mornings. No real frost and this plant is protected near a fence a tree canopy. Was the only plant so show any ill effects from the cold. Time to dig up and overwinter in the greenhouse I guess. [ Reply to this comment | |
