My Little Bas did very well in a large container until the winter of 2013/2014. It was a really bad winter, and the container was well-covered with about 6' of snow (which should have protected it) but it never came back after that. I haven't tried any others since, so this may have been a onetime deal. I can't profess to know what killed it after just one trial, but I am hesitant to try container growing again in this climate.
