Winter Storage of Mirabilis Etc.

Who knows what winter weather will be. Could be mild, could be frigid. 
Besides, since the Mirabilis are in pots for sure they would be risky 
outdoors.

I suppose I could just bring the pots indoors and line them up on 
shelves in the basement. Along with the eucomis - E. pole-evansii, E. 
autumnalis, E. comosa / punctata.  The ismene / hymenocallis  are 
multiplying by offsets so rampantly that it begins to be annoying. 
Oxalis regnellii. In other words - crowded.

The various canna - Tropicana, Bengal Tiger / Pretoria, C. musafolia, C. 
flaccida Purpurea get dug, boxed, stored in the garage. My huge 
Mirabilis longiflora gets dragged, pot and all, into the garage too.

What all does anyone else with a case of zone denial do for the winter?

And, just to entertain you, here's images of the E. pole-evansii.

rainy again
