My first Brom was picked up at HD in the spring. I was drawn to the fact that the leaves (bracts?) hold the color (and an amazing color at that) rather than a blossom. It was in a 3" plastic pot (and still is). I placed it outdoors in a shady spot where I needed summer color. To my shock, it has grown incredibley, and the color is more intense than ever. Now the bad news... the first frost is expected tonight, so I brought it into my dry, dark house. So...

What kind of Brom is it?
and
Should I repot? If so, what kind of soil and container? Will it be OK in a low light setting, or should I put it under lights with the rest of my plants? (mostly c/s)

THANKS in advance!!!
