Elizabeth, if you've got some old sheets or blankets you can cover the foliage with, you really don't need to dig your plumerias up just yet. It's possible you'll have more warm weather after just a few cold nights, right? The ground stays warm a long time after the first little frosts.

Mine stay outdoors all year 'round and we have had some dandy frosts the last two winters. They stop blooming but don't even lose their leaves if you cover them.

ps. Susie, if you want to try to root your cuttings, I was reading that you need to let the cut ends scab over and form a 'callus' before you plant them. (I got mine already dried and callus'ed) I think brug cuttings root better if you do this as well.
