For next year, maybe consider not sheltering at all, unless you have have serious frost on the way (not common in most of Texas but does happen occasionally)
Ya, I was thinking the same. Next year....

Steve- you moved recently, correct?

i know that is a major 'stall' signal for my plants when i moved...everything was dormant(ish) some sulked for years. i moved like 50 miles and to a more moderate climate (north and further from the ocean) so go figure

Yes, I moved about 1.5 hour drive south of where I was before with similar climate! But I moved 3x last year (2 apartments and now in my house) so that could have bothered the speciosum. However, it didn't get any really chilly weather this winter, so I'll be sure to give some really cold temps next year!
