In winters gardens give a very strange look. The drooping dahlias and battered bananas are the very signals of the approaching mild winters. Tender tropical such as cannas, caladium and elephant ears shiver in winters when temperature drop below 50 degrees.



But if you feel adventurous and want to experiment with survival then mulch heavily using at least 4-6 inches. Tropicals in the ground can face the chilling winters much boldly than in the container. Shift your container bananas and angels trumpet into cool and dark place. The stem may collapse but it re- grows in winters.
