What do you do with the plumerias in the winter time? Are they in the ground now?

CIDP planted in the ground in your zone? how do you protect?

GREAT shots of your yard!

Where is your location? I assume Niagra, NY??

Nope. Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

CIDP goes inside for the winter in my garage.

The plumeria comes out of the ground once it starts to drop its leaves in the fall. I pot it in dry soil and and it stays in my garage over the winter. They key is to keep the soil dry and give it at most a cup or two of water over the winter.

beautiful garden. This year I wintered my plumerias in the garage for the first time and the result was disastrous; I lost them all. I'm looking for plumeria cuttings.

Tavi

Rice Road greenhouse has quite a few plumerias in stock right now.
