You can speed the plant into dormancy by placing it in the middle of the lawn. The space around it will ensure it gets the chilly air it needs. Keeping it next to a fence or tree, house or anything that retains heat, or inhibits normal air circulation, will help to keep the plant in leaf. Up in Fresno, I need to move my maples out to the lawn to get enough cold air to induce fall color in the leaves. If the leaves turn colors, it is cold enough for the plant to rest.
Hope this helps, Al
