Question
a.k.a: Argyranthemum frutescens supalight.  I live in zone 7 where this is considered an annual. I want to save this plant and somehow winterize it so it will come back next season.  Do I have a prayer?  

Thanks,
Suzanne

Answer
Suzanne,
 Sorry to tell you this is an annual plant.  If you have a garage that is heated(no lower than 45 degrees), I would TRY to cut it back to about 8" and keep is just a bit moist--maybe you CAN winter it!?  Cutting it back will make the stems bush out.  So don't hesitate to cut them throughout the winter.  I've done so with other plants!
