Moving Tweedia inside for colder months?

16 years ago

I have a tweedia outside in a huge clay pot. I live about 20 miles from the coast and wonder if I should put pot and all in the shed or bring it inside for the winter months. Should it go in a sunny window? Should I leave it where it is but cover the pot with straw or something? Thanks.

According to the Southern Living Garden Book it is only hardy to 20 degrees. Depending on your climate, you might try it inside an unheated garage next to an inside wall. If that is still too cold, you'd better bring it inside.
