Deb, you can leave your Gloriosas in the ground until a frost kills the tops back, I think. Mine here stay in year 'round and survived our two cold winters very well. They are about 2in. deep underground.

Last year they came up just fine, and this year they have spread, and blooming has been the best ever. So it appears they don't mind a little chillin. If you get 6 weeks of Indian Summer, you might even see a new vine and another round of blooms. Take a chance. I'll send you more if you lose them.
