I don't think that would work... they would freeze and the insulation would just insulate the freeze in....... and they need to get moisture..... I live in KS and I have some pots on my deck that always come back... weeping weigelia, a hydrangea tree and rudbeckia (autumn sun). Reseeding annuals maybe, like portulaca (rose moss), marigolds...... ? I tried balloon flowers last year and they never reappeared this year. Oh, yes I did a pot of herbs and they came back.. I like them cause they are one of the first things turning green in spring.
