I live in Central Kentucky. Will it come back in the spring like a canna?

No. Not it won't, my dear. The Sasevieria is a succulent and will die if frozen. Find a nice deep pot and take it inside, give it filtered light and water only when it is very dry. If the tongues are long, tie them together to keep them from falling over and breaking. Keep children and pets away from it, not only for the plant's safety but it's not a tasty plant and it can poison small children. Good luck.

Nice. Years ago, Husband brought a beautiful plant to "sit in the corner" of our bedroom. I asked him what it was and he answered "mother in law's tongue". And he was serious. Fortunately, I liked my mil very much and so does he about my mom. Anyway. To answer, if he has room and light bring it over.

they may be right about it freezing, but whoever said it's poisonous to children is wrong. i work in a daycare and we have a very strict list of plants allowed inside classrooms....mother in law tongue is OK

God forgive me, but this is the only time I will probably ever do this. Leave the Mother In Laws Tongue Outside. It doesn't belong in your home. Sorry Nadine.

yes just cover the clumps with leaves or straw if you have a severe frost the plant should still survive and come back next year .goodluck tip ie if you are not sure dig up the clumps and put them in a shed and cover them with straw and plant out next year

No, unless you live in a very warm area of the country.

I have done this, but I am in zone 9. If it freezes it will die.
