Pulled my cover off my Basjoo's two weeks ago and they are already growing. I think as long as it stays above freezing they are fine. If there's a frost, I'll just put a sheet over them. This is my second year with these dudes and I think they are tougher than you realize. I have some others that were just cut to the ground and pulled through with only a little mulch. Also, my Lasiocarpas pulled through in muddy clay soil. No protection, not even mulch! They weren't even big. Three little corms 1 1/2 inch in dia. I'm not sure that these aren't as hardy as Basjoo. This winter I'm gonna give Sikkimensis a try. I hope I have as good luck with these as I did with the others.
