Vine type Moonflower overwintering?

15 years ago

Is it possible to keep a pot of vining moonflowers through the winter in a partially warm shed? Has anyone had experience doing this? I overwinter elephant ears, and canna in pots in this shed which contains a big water heater but no light of any sort. The EE and canna come back in the spring when I take them outdoors.

I'd like to try the same treatment on a couple of pots of established moon flower vines, cutting them back just before frost, mulching them and keeping them in the shed. Anyone have any thoughts? They take so long to bloom when I start them from seed here so I thought I'd try this. Thank you for any advice or reports of sucess or failure.
