Liz, I healed the pots in my veggie garden. They should be just fine there this winter. I will sometimes keep them in the barn in the granary, but, year before last was one of those horrible cold years and I lost pretty much all of them. Oh well...
They're so pretty in pots I can see why you'd go through the extra effort to keep them going. I just don't have anywhere to store them if left in pots, wish I did. Sorry you lost some to the weather.
Diann, sorry to here about the loss of your peonies in pots last year. I'm fortunate that they do fine in pots here during the winter, where we don't have prolonged freezes.
