Teasing a little people seem to look for trouble growing plants that are not hearty. With luck, due to wind direction, going out on a cold night to wrap them, sing them a lullaby or whatever. Ask three times is it worth the trouble? If, the answer is yes. perhaps you need to ask a few more times before ordering a plant.

I am not immune. I am growing amaryllis. Blankets are in my garage, they even picked the colors. The only things that don't complain about my singing voice. They are marginally hearty.
