Overwintering Toad Lily (Tricyrtis) Stem Cuttings in New Jersey

Rooted toad lily cuttings are vulnerable in their first winter. Two options:

1. Outdoor with heavy mulch: Grow in warmest microclimate until dormant, then mulch heavily with branches and leaves. Remove mulch in spring.
2. Cool indoor dormancy: Keep in an unheated but frost‑free space (garage, basement) for the winter. They must go dormant for health.

Option 1 is preferred. Toad lilies are hardy zones 3–9.
