RE: Wintering in pots

You could do that.... Just don't water until spring, protecting it from frost when it sprouts.

Problem is when you do that in consecutive years. Tubers tend to get bound up, black and nasty when undivided over time. Flowers can be lower quality, and many shoots from multiple tubers will compete for water and fertilizer.
