I need help. I have a potted tibouchina that's doing great, but don't know how to winter it. I know it's still summer, but if summer comes can winter be far behind! Thanks for anything.

Hi neighbor. Wish I could take your kitten, but I have a big meanie here too. He says one at a time is enuf. With all our rain I have been reluctant to put my tibouchina in the ground. Thanks

Could you put it in a raised bed with a layer of gravel in the bottom for drainage? I'm not a Mississippi gardener, but would assume drainage is drainage.

Thanks Gardenwife--I'll try that for several things I was reluctant to plant. It's been so rainy here, and my lot has retained a lot of it!

Give it a couple of weeks. Soon enough, well be out of the rainy season, and it will be bone dry again. welcome to the south : )
