I recently made a trade for Pride of Barbados seeds. The orange and the pink ones. They aren't winter hardy in my zone and I was wondering if I could dig the roots up when it gets cold and store them in peat like bulbs?
Just trying to find a way to keep them alive in our cold winters.
Or some other way? I can't turn them into house plants, I don't have the room.
Thanks guys!!

You might try posting in the Tropicals forum, you'll probably run into more people who've had experience overwintering these. They can definitely be kept indoors for the winter, I've never heard of anyone digging them up like you're suggesting but that doesn't mean it's not possible. However, they are evergreen plants and don't really go completely dormant the way deciduous plants do, so I suspect they wouldn't make it.
Ohhhh.
Thank you Ecrane!!
I'll post it over there. I didnt realise they were evergreens, LOL.
They are shrubs too so there's really nothing wrong with posting here, it's just I know there are a lot of people on tropicals who grow them, vs here there's a lot more talk about more cold-hardy stuff.
