I bought several variegated tapioca plants (manihot esculenta) last june. They grew rapidly from 1 to 6 feet in 4 months. By October, they were in decline, after having been repeatedly blown over by gusty autumnal winds. I was afraid to leave the tubers in ground over winter (they're only cold hardy to 30 f), so I lifted them and planted them indoors. I know the nonvariegated cultivar is cold hardy in zone 8a, but it I don't find it visually appealing. Has anyone in zone 8a tried mulching the variegated cultivar and have it survive our winter?
