| If it can be stored.Do I have to bring it in and treat it as a houseplant till spring again?Or can it be stored like dahlias etc?I plan to try and root cuttings off it to make more for next yr.After new landscaping project done I will have a bed about 8' deep by 80' long to fill in. |

| You can bring it in for the winter and keep it in a bright window. But I prefer to take cuttings of all of my favorites. They are so easy to grow from cuttings, and much easier to manage in small pots when space is limited. |

| You can root cuttings in water and then plant them to enjoy all winter and again outside in spring. |
