I'm planning on digging this plant up, cutting off almost all the leaves and overwintering it in a crawlspace. I was just wondering that, should it get too cold, should I leave the pups on it over winter or cut them off and pot them inside? Thanks for any help folks.
If you got it at Lowe's and it's non-edible, it's probably Basjoo. They were selling a lot of them this year. If that's true, they could survive with a good mulch in the ground in VA.
