Rodney and Heather, Thanks for the advice. The next question is how much
freezing can it take? Mine is sitting in a plastic pot with a pinhole in
the bottom buried to the edge in the soil in the bed. I'm wondering what
will happen when it freezes solid? The pot is full of water and soil
and iris now and draining slowly through the pinhole(when the soil
isn't too wet).
