Thanks Delecie,
Shirl,thats just regular wheat straw,I have been leaving some of the plants out over nite,ones that can take a little cooler weather,we haven't had a frost in about a week,but if it gets close to one I can bring the more tender ones back in,or cover with straw.
If the temps are only cool for a couple hours it doesn't hurt them,cause it warms back up quickly when the sun comes out.
Its gambling a little,and trusting the weather mans forecast.
Just went and checked on my cannas and elephant ears lost about half of them,this is the worst I ever had with overwintering them,some where to moist still I guess and others weren't moist enough when I put them away for winter.
