Hmmmm...........I got my cuttings in spring off a plant that had been overwintered in a cold greenhouse in NE England. I have one healthy plant in each of my cold greenhouses at the mo and am hoping to split one of them up (like a herbaceous perennial) in the Spring to give me more plants. They don't like drafts but as long as the pot and roots don't freeze they should be ok methinks!
