Purple heart question
 

These are cold hardy for my area,but wanted to know if it would survive winter in a pot? It sits right next to our front door in a corner so kinda a micro climate but will still get some wind. Thanks

In zone 8 probably it would, but to be sure, why don't you move the pot with a hand truck into an unheated garage or storage shed. Water it real sparingly about once a month and bring it out in the spring. It will survive in my unheated greenhouse here in zone 5, but you have to have it in a building and out of the wind and super cold temps here. either that or cut some starts off of it and bring them inside and then just let us know in the spring! it's pretty cheap to obtain, we always have tons of it here. I'm sure there is more of it there that you can get from a neighbor or nursery in the spring.

Yeah first year with it and see it everywhere in NC. Like a weed,any piece that falls off grows. Well it got down to 28* last night so we will see how it did. I can put it in a storage closet where my nanners are growing happily. Thanks
