Wow, thanks to all. I still am wondering about the rudies growing in the fall/winter inside with our limited light. But, like I say I am at the 47the lat. and they grow northward at the 55th lat. I am hoping it works. I now have some bonsai rubies in my window garden and they are pretty nice, blooming at under 1 foot tall. Lots of fun and interesting too. Not many resources for a fella so I appreciate all the input.
