You let me know how they do, I tried that with brugmansia rootball Jean Pasko last year and the year before, but uncovered them too early and they froze in early spring. One was by the dryer vent outside, piled high with leaves and plastic and a heavy moving pad. The other was under a two foot pile of leaves, plastic and two blankets, and when I uncovered it, it was still alive, but it froze with a late freeze. *sigh* I am always in a hurry to get things going outside in Spring. I brought in my prized hibiscus two weeks ago, and left one out to brave the low temps, and brought it in a few days ago. The one who got "cold" now has yellow leaf drop. I guess it proves my theory of bringing them in when the temps are the same out and in.. It still has buds, and will bloom, but the cold shock threw it into temporary dormancy I think..
This Macho Fern will go thru leaf drop.. DH likes it out there and thinks it will be fine , it went dormant in late winter, but came back twice as strong.
