I have now aquired over 80 different varieties of perennial plants. I have not yet figured out where in my gardens they need to go and I'm not sure that I will be able to do it all this summer. Could someone tell me if I can leave these in pots overwinter (Perhaps sunken pots if need be). I don't want to kill any of these so I want to get planted what will not survive winter in pots. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm in Hewitt NJ.

I would opt for temporary garden spots instead of overwintering in pots. I always move plants even after a few years in one spot. Plants in the ground for one year are usually easy to move.
The mints I would keep in a pot and sink it in the fall. I never put these in the ground. I always overwintering them in pots above ground against the house successfully but they are knocked back. In the spring, I clean out the black roots and place the white, living roots in new soil and it comes back. I would also keep the Bishop's weed, Ranunculus, ox eye and anything else that is an aggresive spreader in pots until you know for sure where you want it.
Russain sage is another you list that you might want to keep in a pot until you know where it goes.
Though I have had a couple other plants you list survive in pots overwinter, many of these wouldn't. |
