Question from
Leo Judge
I have a Distictis plant which is, i believe very tender. I live on the North East coast of England with a south facing wall upon which i would like this plant to grow. Do i have to take it into a cold greenhouse for thr winter or can I cover / insulate the large pot that it is growing in?
