Thanks. I have to baby them every winter along with a Japanese Maple. I cover them with tarps and sheets at night. The one big one actually created about 10 new "babies" last year. The smaller one in the photo is one of them. They start coming out along the base, and I carefully pry them off and plant them in pots.

I love it!
