Default Anemones growing in Oct!

The 'Governor' is one of the scarlet varieties of the St. Brigid form of
A.coronaria 'De Caen' anemones and with correct conditions can flower at any
time of the year. They are reasonably able to withstand frosts and still
continue to flower. These could be longer lasting than those in the spring.
Use as cut flowers and pick well before opening.Commercially they are grown
for their Autumn flowers and continue for months. These are normally planted
as small corms in June/July. Keep sheltered and after flowering prepare to
discard as they are seldom worth retaining. Keep the pots outside as long
as possible. Best wishes.

Hi,
I've got some anemones "The Governor" in pots. They bloomed in late

spring
and died off. I was planning on digging them and storing them over the
winter but...Now, they're growing again!! Even if I don't dig them I would
overwinter the pots in my garage so they don't freeze solid. How will this
new growth affect their winter survival here in NJ? This was my first year
growing them so I don't have any experience with them.

Thanks,
Doug
