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.
