Bet, that sounds right to me.

Lilmiss, you can bring in absolutely anything you want if you can put it in the right conditions. For many years (and I am doing it again) I would take my pelargoniums, pick a few stems. tear off the leaves, cut them in sections, put the sections in seed starting mix on a tray, put them in a fairly sunny place, and water them from the bottom. I also keep the parents in their pots (I'm a belt and suspender kind of gal) and water them too. I now have both parent plants and babies from the cuttings. I tend to put several cuttings in a single pot in spring.

I got an abelia grandiflora as a gift last year. It's zone 6, and I knew it would not survive. So I dug it up and it's on a table in my south facing living room.
