Hi,

This year I wanted to take the risk trying to keep a brugmansia outside for the winter, not in a pot but in the plain soil.

For years I have about 5 plant which go indoors during winter but at a friend's garden I saw one that (partially) survived and became an impressive plant
the next summer.

A friend of mine covered the plant with drapings of jute and when the frost was really hard he also put a perforated garbage
bag over it which was removed when temperatures got higher. This was a partial success. All the branches were dead by frost
but the stem survived for about 30cm. The plant grew into the biggest and most flowery plant he ever had.

Yesterday, I planted the plant outside and covered the soil with leaves, cut grass and hay to at least already cover the roots.
I'll try to send pictures along so you can see how it's like.

Do you, as specialists have any advice to give me the best chance to do this?
