Does anyone here know if one can lift this plant (lysimachia nummular) from outdoor growing beds into pots to overwinter indoors? If you have done this in the past, any special care needed, other than a good mist of H2O from time to time?
I know them as moneywort. You don’t need to bring them inside—they’re perfectly hardy (evergreen) here in Zone 5. But I know someone who did keep the plant in a pot overwinter.
They are a good antiscorbutic (anti-scurvy or Vitamin C) vegetable and herb.
Thanks M, I didn't know that one could eat them! I guess my question was not (again) worded well. My fear was the plants need the winter's break to rest and await the return of longer days while listening to Earth's heartbeat. Did the overwintered plant that you spoke of thrive or just kinda hang out till spring?
The bed in question will be removed later this year and I want to save as many plants as I can. I also have a large group of Snow Drops in this bed so if anyone would like some send me a message and I'll get some out in the mail.
Peace
