This small bed is just off the back door and is adjacent to a very small patio. It faces north. The potted Hostas are just as winter hardy in my area [7A] as the ones in the ground. The bed also contains a nice 'Parsley' fern that is just now emerging.
From another angle:

You can see a potted Philodendron 'Birkin' on the left in the 2nd photo.
