I moved back to Ohio after thirty years in Calif., and last summer found some vines, described as Confederate Star Jasmine that I purcashed and tucked into corners of my house next to the front steps. I missed their smell SO much. However, now I'm faced with the dilemma of winter. I'm solidly in 5, however I live next to a small lake, which freezes over solid in winter, but does modulate temps a bit.
Any recommendations of how to keep these lovely vines for next year? I was thinking just leaving them in and heavily mulching w/ leaves. Not sure when/where/ or if I should cut them back. Alternatively, I could try to bring them in a houseplants, but I'm not thrilled about that option. Inside air is VERY dry, and I don't think they'd be happy.
Any thoughts?
I've enjoyed being a 'silent reader' of this forum!
