| My ginger lily, which I brought into a cool conservatory with no heat in November hasn't died down at all. Should I cut it back? |

| I take it you mean Hedychium (Gingers are not Lilies). It will be fine, don't cut it back - depending on the species you have they can be hardy to about -10 degrees. |
