My husband gave me some of these in a potted floral arrangement last mother's day. After they finished blooming, I cut them down and repotted the bulbs (or rhizomes... can't remember). I kept them out on the deck and they're very happy and green and growing and I don't know what to do with them for the winter.My choices are:
(1) Put them under some gro-lites in the bathroom with some other plants;
(2) Put them in a portable greenhouse that we put up on our deck and keep above freezing using 100 watt light bulbs when needed.
(3) Keep them in a sheltered area of our screened side porch with no artificial warmth but stick them in the greenhouse if we get one of our rare really cold snaps (below 15 F)
(4) Plant the pot in the ground
(5) Plant the plants in the ground
(6) Put them in a fairly sunny window...
...others?
