Post #3758468

I have searched the forums but cannot find a definitive answer to this question (or perhaps I missed it!). I have two Oregano Kent Beauty plants in pots with blue Double Cascade petunias and verbena 'Obsession White' and I love the combo, but none of the plants will survive a zone 5a winter. Has anyone overwintered Kent Beauty (the one of the three I really want to preserve) indoors over the winter, and if so could you tell me how to do so successfully (how far to cut it back, how much water at what intervals, how much light?) I do have shop light on timers in my basement. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Donna
