Marge, I do need to check on its cold tolerance. I'm sure there are times the garage gets below freezing, especially in a bad year. I should put a thermometer in there. I do manage to keep geraniums in there, but they will take some frost outside, too.

How cold does it get in that garage, Susan? If it stays around 40F,
I would say it ought to work, esp. if you put it near that west
facing window. I think (tho' do not know for a fact) that this grass
has some temperature limit.

there is a west facing window in the garage too (old house, old,

never managed a heliotrope.
