Don't worry about overwintering brugs. I overwintered my first brug this year indoors (and it was a Charles Grimaldi). It did just fine. I ended up putting it under a large flourescent light fixture.

I found Charles Grimalda easy to grow .. not to mention extremely fragrant, too !!

This picture was taken indoors. Given light, fertilizer and water these plants will continue to bloom through winter. I found watering to be the biggest problem. I had the brug in a 5 gallon pot, which turned out to be way too small. I recently repotted in a 10 gallon pot, which I also think is too little. I suspect that another transplant to a 20 gallon will be needed when moving it outdoors.
