Great information! I'm in zone 5b and grow this plant in a medium-sized container. I cut mine back at the end of the season, store it cool and dark over the winter, and it does wonderfully! In the spring I just set it out next to an east-facing wall and it starts growing again when it's ready to. ![]() |

Chelle: I don't currently grow this plant but it's still on my "Wish"/"Plan to Buy" List. I hope you will consider entering your comments in the information section for this plant. Providing your growing conditions will be very helpful to others. I didn't realize that it could be grown as a container plant, cut back and stored over winter and that's great information to know! ![]() ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

I thought I was in the information/comments area. (??) If I'm not, can you point me to the proper place? Last winter I kept this plant in the crawl space under my house. It depends on how bad of a winter we get as to whether I'll keep it there again all winter, or move it into a cool closet during January/February. This particular closet (unheated and against an outside wall) is used more for tender plant and bulb storage than it is for anything else! ![]() |
