In the winter we see temps in the high 20's, but mostly in the 30's and on a few nights, down to the low 20's. Snow is rare, but it will act as a good insulator. We have had plants of all sizes from one gallons on up outside all winter long uninsulated. The key is to keep them moist and the water will protect the roots. Ours do freeze, sometimes solid, but I have not noticed a particular problem with this in our zone. The year we drop into the teens for a few days will prove me wrong, but for now and most years, our plants are fine outside. |
