| I was wondering if I should trade for this plant.
It looks pretty but I've no idea how to overwinter it- can it do the basement like canna? Short of that there is cold windows (with a wintertime problem with spider mites)- if this is vulnerable to them.
I've also no idea if it would grow quickly enough to bloom in zone 5.
Thx for your advise.

| You might be able to keep it going as a houseplant, or take cuttings and root new ones. |

| If you can't overwinter it, keep me in mind, I grow that mess from cuttings like mad and always have a flat or two sitting around. I have both tall and short, in four colors. I would be happy to send you some next spring. |
