My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

overwintering tender perennials

19 years ago

This is my first winter as a serious gardener in zone 7B, after 15 years in zone 9! I have several tender perennials in containers, especially Lantana and Pentas, that I do not want to lose completely. Neither do I have a greenhouse. I do have an unheated room to place them in.

Would they respond well to being cut off near ground level and stored in that room? I did that last year to Passiflora 'Blue Bouquet" and it did just fine.
