![]() I was just out cleaning up my plants and yard and found I have a new bloom starting.... but it's mid October and I was told I am supposed to cut all my plants back to about a foot tall here soon. Is there any chance of keeping this plant going through the winter in Austin (zone 8b)?

![]() If you are frost free and above freezing, there is hope. If you can install a temporary greenhouse with some heat (PVC pie and plastic, for example) there is hope. Otherwise, it isn't going to happen.

![]() You can try .... The pstem is history anyway .... it wont come back next year. So leave it and see what happens.
I had a Orinoco to flower last Christmas and it did produce a nice bunch. I lost it to the first hurricane this summer. |
