well you understand the regular clay pot will break or crack in the winter .. as the wet freezes and expands in the clays pores.. no doubt about it.. it's a gauaranteed occourance...
As far as the buddleia goes.. I've had a few of them.. they overwinter just fine outside in containers.. I grow them in a 12 " deep planter a few feet long.. wooden sides and bottom.. they do well.. except of the years I try and prune them too heavily.. I'm growing I think a Guenivere.. or some other Camalot name'd one they will accomodiate to whatever size they have to work with.. I had Black knight for years.. loved the dark flowers.. and the butterflies loved it also.. a real magnet for them... Gordon
