They actually don't do too much growing but just sort of hunker down and stay alive, waiting until summer (ours) rolls around again.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37665322872409602172013-07-26T10:44:41.523-07:002013-07-26T10:44:41.523-07:00This is Dale, the homeowner.

It is really a labor of love to move them each year but it's only a big deal because the aoniums grow so easily if fertilized, watered, and kept from freezing. I use a "Pot Lifter" on the big ones to move them each October and May. I have a bird of paradise that blooms in the winter inside if it gets to send the summer outside. I started this approach with the idea of just having one or two accent plants and they've taken over my gardening life! I figured I'd quit or cut back when it stopped being fun, but I am now in the process of building a winter greenhouse in my back yard to keep them alive for 6 months of possible frosts. My new addiction! Actually, they revive quickly in the spring as long as they are kept from freezing in the winter. I'm not very knowledgable about plant names but would be glad to share starts with you anytime.
