[quote=Anonymous]Perennials are hard to grow in containers. Containers will get a LOT more freeze-thaw cycles in the winter, so if you do have a perennial or a shrub in a container you likely need to have it under cover over the winter. The other thing is that containers require more fertilizer, because they need a lot of watering and drainage so more washes out. You can grow Hollies and other things in very large containers, but that doesn’t sound like what you have. Are yours on the deck floor or hanging on the railing? If the railing, you could get some little evergreens for winter. But I would treat them like annuals and start over in spring. A lot will also depend on which direction they are facing. Can you set up a drip watering system? Or are you going to have to carry water to them by hand?[/quote]
