Hi Stacy,
Well, I purchased some plants late last fall, young plants, and rather than
try and plant them, I just dug holes and shoved the pot and all in the
ground. I tried to have the soil level in the pot level to the ground. All
Hosta came thru not problem. ALSO, I left Fragrant Bouquet with an
underplanting of H. venusta out all winter in a very large pot and again had
no problem. Now I live in Buffalo, NY so unless you are further North, of
have more severe winters, you should be OK. Not that this is the "Best"
planting/overwintering method, but they are rugged plants.
