Back in May we cleaned out two old Whiskey Barrel planters and replaced them with poly resin containers that look like terracotta. I promise they look more like real terracotta from the side. They look pretty cheesy and orange on the inside. Anyway... look how much the soil has sunk. I need to add at least four inches of soil, maybe six inches. But I am waiting for spring. The Hostas are rooted in and growing well. I don't want to disturb them going into winter. I will cut them back and add a layer of shredded leaves on top to insulate them. This Hosta variety is supposedly hardy to temperatures down to -30F. When planting perennials in containers you should choose varieties hardy two zones lower than your own and we are currently a zone 6b.
