RE: Potted Hostas

Seems like I post this every year..As Helen says, water (crown rot) is the problem, not necessarily cold...At least that's true here in My Tennessee garden.

So I follow Diane Frederick's advice: water the plants well, then turn the pots on their sides and cover with oak leaves. Works like a charm..I think I've only lost one small plant in the last few seasons of doing this.
