I have a Gotu Kola plant that is really doing well here in NJ Zone 6b/7. I have it planted in a earthbox and have been keeping it well watered.

I know I have to overwinter it but how? Can I leave it in my garage for the winter? Should I cut the leaves off before I bring it in? Should I water them during the winter?

Thanks! I know this is more of a Asian Green but I know there is more traffic here on the veggie forum. Thanks!

Centella asiatica is a medicinal herb, so you may get better responses in the herb forum. I know little about except that it can be grown as an annual. It is a tropical plant and subject to frost, so overwintering would require a green house environment. That means both light and sufficient warmth so I doubt that a garage would be sufficient. You could probably treat it as house plant.
