Can dragon flower bulb be kept In peat moss .over winter in colder climates

Question

We live in zone 3 climate n I would love to grow dragon flower so can it be kept overwinter in peat moss in cool basement. Should it be in a plastic bag with air holes?

Answer 1

Place the roots in dry peat moss or vermiculite in a sturdy cardboard box. The peat moss will slow the loss of moisture from the roots and keep them from shriveling. Store the box at about 45 degrees F. (never below freezing) in a garage, crawl space, or basement. Warmer temperatures allow the roots to sprout in midwinter, and you don't want that to happen.
