Brugs in the Atlanta area

Hi there,
I brought my big brug pot into the house a couple of weeks ago since freezing temp was coming. The flowers are blooming in the house now. The house smells so nice usually at midnight....
But I am wondering... are your outdoor brugs & their blooms surviving this cold weather? (My impatience are dying outside...) I am thinking of putting this brug into the ground in the spring (instead of leaving in the pot... tired of hauling it in every fall.) But will I see any blooms in the future if I get blooms so late (end of Oct/Nov/Dec) from this plant? I don't know what kind it is... it starts out yellow & opens up with light pink flowers (white at the throat... probably Frosty Pink.)
I have another one currently in the ground outside that a neighbor gave me this spring... I see a bud... wondering if I will ever the bloom since the temp outside keeps dropping... |

| I have left three out and had three survive but only in the ground. #4 died last year as a combo of the wet and cold. Anything in a container I cut back and brought inside. |

| My coldest morning got down to 33 on the 19th. I didn't have any damage to any "frost tender" plants. My oldest Brug has been in the ground since 1999. Every year when I haven't fertilized it much throughout the year, it does not start blooming till October. It has three flowers now, that have completely emerged from their buds, but yet to open. Its looking like the warm weather could hang around long enough for them to fully open. |
