Dear Fellow Horticulturists,
This spring I purchased a half dozen bulbs of Nerine bowdenii, and am very happy with them.
I have them in a pot on my back porch.

I read they are hardy, but haven't found any other details on their hardiness.
We are here in USA Zone 4 = Canadian Zone 3A, just across the border from Madawaska, Maine.

Should I unearth them, let them dry, then store them in dry peat moss in my cool cellar?
Should I simply bring in the pot and position it in my living room at about 20-22 C?

I'll be grateful for any advice.

Sincerely,
JDBourque
