Although we have had these survive mild winters outdoors with protection they have always been knocked back by frost and re-growth from the rootstock has only ever reached around 30 to 50cm tall by the end of the following season. To get huge plants they really need a heated greenhouse or conservatory for the winter. Large plants can be put outside for the summer once all frosts have passed and make fantastic patio pot plants or can be plunged into an exotic border for the warmer months easily being lifted before the cold weather comes back in.
