I believe this is the Cassia growing in my yard - a small plant gift from my neighbor. I would think you could bring them inside and treat as a houseplant over winter. I would just go light on the water ... the one in my backyard is small but goes dormant during the winter .... little water unless we get rain and it always comes back in spring. We do sometimes have cold weather .... frost and sometimes a rare freeze, but our cold weather does not last long. When temp's are predicted to drop below 35 I will cover some tender plants with blankets but have never covered this one and it's been fine. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/371/


edited to say: I think they would do fine on your sun porch .... if it gets really cold, just cover them with an old sheet or blanket and don't forget to water them.
