oh Dave, I feel so bad. I live in Gainesville, Florida - Zone 8. I have the
plant in a pot and I would take it in on nights when it was supposed to
drop below freezing. I even missed a few times, but it was close enough to
the house to keep warm. Luckily, it was able to be outside most of the
time, so it got plenty of sunlight. It stops blooming and has very little
to no new growth but perks up immediately in the spring.
