Hardy container plants

These plants grow in a pot and stay outdoors through the winter, for example lavender, thyme, blackberry, Oregon grape or houseleek. Even so, a container rarely gets by without any protection, because the root ball freezes through much faster than in a bed. Move the pots against a sheltered house wall and stand them on wooden feet or a polystyrene sheet. On frost-free days, water a little so the root ball does not dry out.
