| Birdlady, Definitely Ice Cream can be overwintered outside. This spring I planted Praying Hands, Manzano and Rojo Zebrina in the ground, I have potted Mahoi and Saba. Will be getting a Chinese Yellow soon. None of mine will stay in pots, I just haven't prepared a place for them yet. I want to try a Red Iholene and a velutina too. On your Kru and Hua Moa for some reason I want to say don't try them in the ground overwinter but I just can't be sure without researching. |
