Hope I'm not being redundant, but I have a tender perennial situation. I have dug out and repotted a brug, a papyrus (from the pond), several colocasia, a ruella (tall), a tibouchina, and a very special fuchsia and my garage is looking like a greenhouse. I'm not sure which can go dormant and which have to go inside. Also, I have some beautiful salvia leucantha, 'Lipstick','Silke's Dream' and an agastache. I am in McLean, Virginia. This is a 6b-7a. Should I bring in the salvia and agastache? Can they be let to go dormant? Can they be left outside (they are planted in the ground) and just mulched? I just am in Zone Denial and don't own a greenhouse! Thanks,

Brenda
