I love your pots! They winternize on their own turning brown/ orange and dead-looking between Nov and Feb. That being said, not sure what State you’re located but its native to the Carolina’s, where in Fall we are seeing cloudyness and Sun with breezy days. Make sure it doesn’t get too much breeze and not too early of a winter, in terms of temperature. As long as the middle stems don’t die or become mushy, you are more or less good.
