Hi Shirlee,
I believe SDB's love the cold and the snow. Our SDB's do better than TB's
because of the snow they get. We are at 3,000 feet and only get 3" to a
foot of snow most years but we get a good share of low temperatures. I
don't know about refrigeration. Guess one could experiment with a rhizome
they don't like. Good luck!
