Re: Need some help

Becky, I'm in northern NY, zone 4. Sinking the pots in soil works well for me; also burying in mulch. In both cases I leave the top of the plants free except for some mulch. There may be better methods but that is all I have come up with. I have also brought plants indoors and placed them in a cool unused room over the winter (with light).
This year I have many huge pots of large hostas (sum and substance) and eupatoriums (gateway) that I dug up and I don't have beds prepared for them yet. That's going to be a lot of digging or a lot of mulch. I may decide to just heel them in somewhere, don't know yet. I'm listening to what others have to say.

Has anyone buried pots of perennials in the ground for over winter?  I leave
in zone 4, and have some that I want to put in a different spot next year
and I am not ready for that yet.  So I have read you can put the plant and
pot in the ground. Any idea how to do this? and does it work. Thanks Becky
