I have 3 huge plants that I would really like to keep but I don't know if there's any possible way to overwinter them? PLEASE help!!

The only way I know to be truly successful is in a heated greenhouse/hothouse. They grow fast enough, so perhaps you could try small clump divisions, potted up indoors. Those large clumps in the landcape will not survive a zone 5 winter.

I have planted several of these, also a Prince or two. The lable said they are hardy in zone 8 where I live in spite of what I have in my GW ID. Are they really going to come back? Anyone in zone 8 know? I would never expect them to be evergreen all winter.
