| shrubs are not house plants ... you dont tell us what zone you are .... a little burlap.. MIGHT get you one zone... but not 2 or 3 .... we all try pushing zone... usually it doesnt work .. live and learn... either enjoy them as annuals.. or move on in your choices .. good luck ken |

| I don't know whether to call it a shrub or a perennial. The tag said "Golden Shrub Daisy". I'm in zone 6a so I guess I have to Mary |

| Won't live through the winter outside there. Won't like being inside, unless you have a bright and cool greenhouse. Not a rare and expensive item, I would not take the trouble myself. You will have to rid it of bugs before it comes in, and it is rather late for a plant to be brought indoors - ordinary indoor conditions will be like a sudden blast of summer after it has been outside nearly into winter. |

| Hi Mary, I'm not familiar with this plant, but I did a bit of searching and it seems that it is easy to propagate from cuttings. Perhaps if you try to overwinter it indoors, you can take a few cuttings in case the original plant doesn't make it. Personally, I don't do well with overwintering plants indoors, so I rarely do it. Maybe you have better luck. I guess if it's going to die outside anyway, you have nothing to lose by bringing it in, right? Good luck! |
