First of all let me say that the small rooted cuttings of david verity are looking very good.

I have potted up cuttings of cuphea shumannii and david verity cuttings in black bags. I have also dug up plants of DV and shumannii potted and bagged and garaged since these will not survive the winter here nothing to lose. This is new to me and I have never dug up plants to try and over winter either. On the sal greggii autumn sage cuttings which still has green leaves I dont want to leave out all winter but also dont think it wise to bag them up later. Im thinking leave them unbagged in my partially heated garage so they stay dormant or does it matter. Suggestions welcome.

Steve the only plants I overwintered were in pots and received water and light throughout the 5 months in the garage. 79 out of 80 survived for me last winter and I have many more in the garage this winter - I'll tell how they did in March.
