springcolor said:My guess they are in gallon pots? I had mine out in 18 - 19 degrees but not the wind chill that you describe. I had them covered with frost cloth and moved up by the house and they were fine. But that only lasted for a few days. The hardy zone is 5-9 or 6-9 depending on the type. I'm sure that is in the ground so in a pot they would be more tender.

I'll ask her what size pots. I know it can get pretty darn cold there where she is. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea for her to put the pot they're planted in, inside another pot even if the exterior pot had soil in it as an insulator as if they were growing in ground??????
