Comments (3)Are you in London? Western Fair is Sept. 5-14. If you think that there is enough time, then I would love for you to make one for me, if you don't mind. I had thought to give the plants time to "grow" into their new home...but this could work! Let me know if you're up to it and what I can do for you in exchange. Maybe you could "borrow" my exhibitor pass... Fran...See MoreHypertufa trough garden
Comments (7)Thanks Phil,Gayle and coll123. coll 123 so far I've had really good luck with the hypertufa containers. They're planted with a well draining mix with a lot of pine bark fines in it and so far they have overwintered fine outside in a protected spot. I've had more issues with other types of containers.

Comments (10)I have not had great luck overwintering hostas in my hypertufa pots, of which I have many, in different sizes, some are even bottomless in my attempt to ensure good drainage, which is super important in the winter and early spring. Most of my hostas that stay in the tufa pots have survived the winter, but often they are damaged and come back smaller, depending on the severity of the winter. These are pots I just leave out, exposed. The things that come though the winter the best for me ( of my potted ones) are the ones that are completely buried so that the level of the soil in the pot is at the same point as the level of the soil in the ground. So I am guessing that the freeze thaw freeze thaw thing that happens to unburied pots is a big part of why those ones get damaged in my yard. ..that, in combination of not being too wet. Just my opinion! THe ones I bury are just in plastic nursery liners- I do not have the energy to bury anything in a hypertufa pot. The hypertufa itself does fine over the winter...I don't do anything to protect that....See Moreclub53
