Siberian Cypress A very hardy evergreen with good shade tolerance, Siberian Cypress provides graceful year-round texture to cool-climate gardens. Celtic Pride Can I Grow It in a Container? Many new flowering shrub varieties are a wonderful compact or even dwarf size and are perfect for growing in a container. However, before you invest in an elaborate patio planter, you will want to be sure that the plant will survive over winter. A plant may be perfectly hardy when planted in the landscape, but not survive a cold winter above ground. A good rule of thumb for container designs is to choose plants that are one zone hardier than where you live. For example, if you live in USDA Zone 5, any plant rated to USDA Zone 4 or lower (colder) should be able to survive winters in a container. Remember that plants in containers will need regular watering, so even a droughttolerant plant may need supplemental water in a container. But don’t limit yourself to what will overwinter in a container! A plant that is not quite hardy enough to survive above ground can always be planted in the garden in autumn. So can a variety that will get too large for a patio planter. Fall is a great time for planting shrubs. As long as you can dig a hole in the ground (until the ground is frozen), you can plant flowering shrubs. 57 |
