Leafing Out
Hello! I wasn’t really sure where to put this thread so hopefully this forum works out well. I need some advice on how to overwinter my container perennials. I’m in zone 5b so we get pretty cold and this year we had a late frost in mid May (so frustrating). We also get tons of snow. I have a raspberry bush (dwarf variety), begonias, and I’ll have a micro miniature rose bush as well. I have a couple of hanging plants with perennials that I’d like to have a go at overwintering, though I’m not sure how well it will go. I don’t have a place where I can bury the pots through winter nor do I have a place where I can keep the temperature between 30-40 degrees (Fahrenheit). I do have 2 barns and a shed to keep my plants out of the elements. Any advice on how I can set up a good overwintering space for my plants? Any other tips for container gardening are much appreciated! I’d love to do more of this. Thank you!
