| The frost didn't harm the pentas I have, they're still alive and well, so I'm wondering if I can dig and pot them up and store in garage over winter - will they return like a typical perennial? I don't really want to keep in the house, I don't have the room with available natural light to keep them going, but thought cold storage might work. What do you guys think? |

| They are semi-tropical, hardy to zone 9, so my guess would be no, but hey, you never know until you try. Do you have an area that stays in that 40 to 50 degree range, maybe a root cellar or cool dark closet? |
