| Remove from water trays and put in a cold but not freezing location, above 35 but below say 45. The soil needs to be moist during dormancy but not soaked like the growing season. A cool basement, attic, garage of the bottom of the fridge. |

| The purpurea can stay outside for the winter. Soil should be no wetter than a wrung out sponge while dormant. Do a search. There are lots of threads here on dormancy. |

| any purpurea can be outside? what is the coldest it can go? what about leucophyla and Judith Hindle? |
RE: dormancy

| Purpurea is from colder climates than yours and often comes back from being encased in ice for weeks at a time. The others can't take that. |

| They can not stand a hard freeze. Re-read my above post. |
