Does Duranta overwinter inside?

17 years ago

Just wondered if it is worth the trouble to overwinter it in the house. Looks like next week might be cold enough to bring in the tropicals.

I don't know about inside the house, Rick, but I have been overwintering mine very successfully for years in the plant room. Hope this helps.

Well.......my plant room is the main hallway through the house. Fortunately, I don't get much company in the winter. (smile)

I've carried them over inside as well but do it lose quite a few leaves but they came roaring back once I brought them back out in the spring. 43 degrees this morning here at Canyon Lake so I need to start prepping my indoor area as well. Hibiscus bogies, etc.! Need to get after my pesto making cause my basil don't like this chilly weather!

Ok, I will try keeping it going during the winter inside, then.
