winterizing a trumpet plant


Question
I live on the coast of NC. I have a Trumpet plant that is about six feet tall in my garden, this is the first year I've had one of these and I need to know if I need to dig it up and bring it in for the winer. It's already gotten below freezing and it's still outside and the leaves are looking pretty sad right now.

Answer
Hi Kim, its kinda big for bringing in, but if you can by all means, do!...if not feasable, you can prune it way back and mulch it heavily; but if you have a big enough container and room for it, then make sure you get the entire root ball intact with as little disturbance as possible to the secondary roots.
