The blue pot with the minis in it was set in a corner by my patio and covered with leaves, the other pot with the faces on is very heavy and thick pottery and it overwintered in place in the bed where I have it. I also had several potted hosta that I hadn't decided where to plant they were in the plastic pots that they came in and those I half buried them in the empty Veggie Garden for the winter they also did great and now have a spot in the garden of their own. This mini hosta and the dwarf Campanula also overwintered in a ceramic pot covered with leaves. The pot didn't hold up so I just repotted it yesterday and added a small ivy to the mix.
