No idea. I planted mine in a bed last spring, followed instructions and a year later not seen one mushroom.

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

Yes, we've had temps down to 16°F as well as 8" of snow. This is my potting shed and is for plants that can take some cold - they do just fine and don't freeze. More sensitive or tender plants go into the heated greenhouse. Hope this helps.

I live in Tucson so some annuals overwinter here as perennials, but I have a rhubarb (1st year) in mine and another with several varieties of mint which have survived our last very mild winter. I think unless you have a very deep rooting perennial you would be OK with these planters, dependent on temperature,. they are far enough off the ground that a light bulb(incandescent) under the bench and a cover over the bench should protect most plants through even a freeze into the teens.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

I would use it inside. The ambient soil temp needs to be in the 70;s to sprout and grow plants such as herbs. Assuming that your sunroom is heated. If not you might try it with a seedling mat.

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

With a greenhouse you add +1 to your zone. For example, if you're in zone 6 you would be 7 with a greenhouse depending on the temps ofc. So, that being said. Most likely not. If you must have it up during the winter I would suggest some kind of heater. Also be sure no snow lays on the top. I seen some people say this does not hold heat well. So make sure any places for heat to escape are sealed good.

Yes! We live in upstate NY. I bring my plants in during the cold winter months. I place them under simple round grow lights. They did well this last winter. They need a about 6 weeks of cool fall evenings (around 40 degrees F) without freezing temps. in order to flower.

The pot is flimsy. You would need to replace it. Wintergreen is designed to be a ground cover plant and would do best if you planted directly in the ground.

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

when winter comes you are to cut it down to six ins. then put mulch around it. I have not planted it yet. I have been sick. So there for I still have it in the house. Its doing ok, but if you still have warme weather plant it.

Go ahead and plant it. You are probably warm enough for it to survive the winter. If there is going to be a cold snap I would cover it. We live in RI and bring it in during the winter.

It is troipical so I'd put in a pot and bring insice in winter. I put mine in south window area - dead of winter it is abt 50 in that rm at night

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the basement but unless it has an 8 foot plus ceiling it would be awfully tight. In the end I decided daylight was more important and worked out how to keep it warm. If we had a garage then I would have put there since you could open the door for daylight, probably would have still put in a heat pump for it if the garage was unheated.

I have only used it in my basement as a growing lamp for plants, but I would think you could use it outside in a shed. Of course, make sure no water would get on it.

I planted them in 1/2 Top Soil, 1/2 Miracle Grow. Small pot to start with, bigger pots as they mature. Warm Temp; around 70-75. Same light as all other house plants and it grows. Pretty simple seedling Process.
