@matron sorry this sounds silly but how would I do that? I've no idea about gardening. Also can they live in a large poy?

@layer11929 I wrapped mine up in some bubble wrap and some sellotape. Just need to stop the rain getting down into it and then freezing. Hope this helps.

Answer 11

Depending on how frost prone you are they can be out all year unless very cold. Some years ago a bad winter seemed to have killed a lot which went black but they regrew from the base if you left them in the pot and cut off the tops so do not panic if they seem to have gotten a hit from the cold. Mine stay out in the snow as long as fairly sheltered

Answer 12

The picture you've put up is called a pink passion cordyline

Answer 13
