You might make them a pot plant - put them out in the borderlands to flower and admire from a distance, then use on the patio/deck for a spray of exotic foliage. <BR/><BR/>Don't you overwinter/store pots in the garage or under the house? Treat them like that - they will be less hardy in a pot, but should be fine with that kind of protection. <BR/><BR/>They are amazing looking!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1155053662525942842006-08-08T12:14:00.000-04:002006-08-08T12:14:00.000-04:00As cool as this looks, I don't think I could take ...As cool as this looks, I don't think I could take the smell.
