Tropicals & Tender Perennials: WINTERING BRUGMANSIA, 1 by DonnaMack

I have a brand new brug given to me by a very kind member of the Mid-South forum. It is now blooming beautifully. I am in zone 5a so I need to overwinter it. I have been reading about the various temperatures at which brugs can be overwintered, but none match mine. Our basement is probably 60-65 degrees. Our attached garage is unheated,. I find that the wall next to the house works well for overwintering roses and zone 6 hydrangeas in containers, but would be too cold for brugs. We have a sunroom, but there are other plants that need to take that space (it was packed last year with heliotrope, hibiscus, and grasses).

I assume I should dig it up, but I am concerned about the correct temperature for storage. Can anyone help?

Thank you.
