It's so annoying because some are in full bloom and I can't see the lovely flowers, but the frost will take the buds if I don't.
The Rhodedendrons are more hardy though, I've got the pot wrapped and put thick bark chips over the surface compost, but the plant itself is uncovered.

This should be of help, Carol:

Dammit. I can't get the link right. The above one is the RHS, but it should have taken you to the Cordyline page.
If you just put Cordylines into their search box you should see the info on winter care, Carol.
Is this the page you are referring to Mups?

Re: Wrapping up for winter...

I unwrapped my Camelia a few days ago. A lot of the flowers had already come out.
After all my loving care - they are edged with brown and dropping off.

I give up with the Camelia - I shall just enjoy it's glossy green leaves and bother no more about the brown blooms - I've done all I can and failed.
