I had several nice groupings that I dug up to overwinter for about 5 years,
then let stay in the ground the last 3.  First 2 winters in the ground they
did
great, but not a single one survived last winter, which was colder and
wetter
(and colder for a longer time) than the previous ones.

When I overwintered them in the basement I layered them in tubs in slightly
damp soil additive (it's a light sort of leafy compost sold here to mix with
the heavy clay soil).  I'll remember the brand name later, I'm sure...
