Thanks ecrane and ibrabec for the good advice. When I mentioned to DH that perhaps this fall I would just root some cuttings from the brugs, and start over next year, he could hardly contain his enthusiasm for the idea! I also have two yellow ones rooted in FL that I could bring back next spring or even this fall when we return and keep them in the sunroom this winter. I think the ones in the containers are now probably pretty rootbound anyway and don't look as good as they could. I will mention, too, that these would have to be pretty heavily mulched in AR if they were to survive, as we had one night of below freezing weather in FL and the ones planted in the ground there got nipped. (Too large to cover effectively.) They are fine now, but I had to do some trimming back on them. I have plenty there to start from cuttings.
