Re: starting out
Hi smiley,
Iam in Ohio also and iam growing alot of different varieties! So far i've found that my sumatran overwinters nicely in the basement. Orinico likes the ground warm when putting out in the spring. And my lil' prince will pup when changing their environment.
I have an ice cream, saba, and maurelli that grew fine, despite being put out in early april with no ill effects.(Remember those cold days? and possible frost.)
One of my dwarf cavendish I left in the dining rm. instead of in the basement is fairing better in the ground then the ones that were overwintered in the basement. Warmer temps? Maybe.
As for my others not mentioned, iam still observing. Hope this will give you a little idea.
