Winter Storage of Mirabilis Etc.

Hi Judy and all - try Minnesota with all the tropical plants we love like
plumeria trees, gloriosa lily and many others that you mentioned.
Same here - in boxes in the basement, pots in cooler area of the house.
Crowded. Plumeria tree, lemon trees, and many others are in the large room
at the back of the house with windows and sun.

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.
Judy in New Jersey where today has sun but then it is supposed to get
rainy again
