Lisianthus

OhioBreezy Dundee, OH(Zone 5b) Sep 20, 2004

Hi all, I will also post this onto the Annual forum, because I am not positive where it should go?
I have some lovely lisianthus that I would dearly love to overwinter in a pot somehow inside, then spring next year plant back outside in ground. Now my question is this: how would you treat them, basement, watering monthly, or would you think they would be in better lighting and considered more of a houseplant? Has anyone ever overwintered one inside? Thanks for anyone's help here, we are near our frost time and want to do something with these beauties that a dear friend sent me this year!!
