Mexican heather??

Question

I know Mexican heather is an annual. I have a plant outside in a pot. If I bring the pot indoors, or repot it and bring it in, will it continue to bloom, and for how long?

Who gave it's me again a thumbs down and why?

Hooligan, you get a Golden Whammy for that answer. I was waiting for it!

Answer 1

It depends on where you live whether it is annual or perennial

Mexican heather is a tough perennial in the south, but grown as an annual in Oklahoma. This lacy plant offers a texture like a fern, but with tiny purple, pink or white flowers. They will occasionally over winter in southern Oklahoma, but only during mild winters. Even though the flowers are very small, they provide continuous bloom for a great display of color all summer. This little plant is not at all picky about its light. It will grow in full sun as well as partial shade.
..............NOTE.............
Butterflies and Hummingbirds love Mexican Heather.
I live in south east Missouri, I will try and save it by putting a high mulch of straw around it. At least 12" or more.
I planted pampas grass with windchill of -24 with warm water and root hormone and a full loose bale of straw around it. It worked.!

Answer 2

Yes, it will will do fine in the house over the winter. It will bloom all winter and it does fine. Spray it with something when you take it indoors as not to infect your indoor plants with an outdoor bug. I have taken mine inside for years.

Answer 3

I live in San Antonio Texas ours usually gets hit by the cold every year I mow it of every spring it is at least one foot high now we have a row of about 10 plants your plant will be happier out side

Answer 4

I dont know if you can keep it alive all winter indoors, but it,s worth a try isn,t it? You would just otherwise have pitched it, so I SAY , give it a try!! Hope you are able.
