Andrea, I do have lots of plants that are not hardy for me but winter them 
over in my garden room.
    Detail information on these plants are difficult to find.  Example, I 
have cut back my mandevillas in the fall before moving inside because they are so 
huge.  I just found some infor saying they should be pruned early spring and 
will then bloom on new wood.
    One of the plants I tried this year is Thunbergia grandiflora.  It is 
absolutely gorgeous at this time.  I have it planted in a lg hi gloss blue 
container and is wrapped around a copper (approx 14" dia) obelisk which is totally 
covered with plant & bloom.  The blooms are very lg , vased shaped blue. I have 
no information how it will winter or when I should prune it.  Have you grown 
this one?
