I put them in a pot and store in the greenhouse with a min temp of 60 degrees. They die back at that temp but I keep them on the dry side and they do well.

Will this plant die back to its tuber (or bulb)? I dup it up and have it in a pot indoors. Should I just treat it like a houseplant until spring arrives again? What temperature and conditions would it like indoors? Thanks, Jean Halverson Dodgeville WI USA min winter about -20F
