One thing that I know that others have done is to "plant" a pot-in-pot. You dig a hole just the size of the pot and bury it in the ground. Then you take the pot that the plant in in and nest it in the first one. They have to be close to each other in size. I believe the Fred/Spunky has done this. I did it last year for two plants that I was not sure of the final location and overwintered them that way. They are still there right now and both have scaped and bloomed. It is a little bit more work, but it does help with the watering. It also makes it easier to rearrange plants, but still gives an "in-ground" look.
