Judy, I don't pot up plants for sale but have wintered over plenty of
potted siberians. When we plow the garden if the fall there is a deep
furrow along one side. I line up the pots in the trench and pack regular
garden soil around them and then mulch when the weather truns cold with
pine needles. After Christmas I use any christmas tree branches or roping
that I have and put that on top so they are mulched well. In the Spring I
just dig them up. (If you don't do it pretty quickly they will start to
send up long yellow leaves to try to get to the top of the mulch and it is
difficult to get the leaves to turn green again.)
I have sold plants to nurseries in the fall and they pot the plants and
keep them in a "cold house" (plastic green house with no heat) and keep
them slightly watered and they seem to do fine. I think the key is not to
keep them too wet.
Hope this helps. We had no electric for four days from Thursday through
Sunday and then problems with the phone so I haven't gotten any e-mail for
seven days.
Carol
