Is this good for wintering perennials like Rosemary, Lavender, Hibiscus, or Gardenia plants?

If you watch the cooking shows on TV, you will see the herb plants on their counters and these are supported by this light. Not sure about the flowering plants but herbs do well with this light.

I live in NJ where it was cold as well. I kept the lemon tree (in it's original pot) in a sunny window and watered once a week - no fertilizer. Last month it started flowering - beautiful smelling. I tried to pollinate it using q-tips. Maybe I will get lemons :). It is growing taller too.

I would assume so, I use it for Venus Flytraps. Its a fairly fine grained peat, w/no additives

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.

I bought some of these pots last year to grow vegetables in and they have held up quite well. You likely will get several years out of them and growing perennials shouldn't be a problem.

Yes,but fairly small plants and you need to be vigilant re whether lower level plants are getting sufficient sun. I have 2 and use all 18 areas for herbs. The planters are perfect for that use.

Don't see why not. It does not provide heat, only light, so plants need to be protected from the cold.

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

My main purpose was to kill the nut sedge in my daylily beds and it does that without distorting the daylilies. It will kill other plants (like thyme and daiseys) but not bermuda, fescue or lirope.

No. Not necessarily. It can be used in the springduring build up and the fall as bees prepare for winter. I know some who feed it all year to weak hives. If you live in an area with less diversity in flowering plants, i'd consider it.

I use Wintergreen as an outdoor, evergreen in Arkansas and Tennessee, ground cover. It spreads with runners. I have never seen it used as an indoor potted plant.

as far as I know: yes. I use it on everything in my garden; including my herbs.

I'm going to have a pot in the garage filled with some potting soil/dirt combo and add it to that over the winter. Don't know if it will work, but worth a shot! I have been using the "tea" for the indoor plants. I guess it will be a lot of trial and error!

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 use it for veg. On early plants. You can flower if u change bulbs, but I wouldn't.

I never made it through the summer so I don't know. I am going to try again though. I don't think it is heat but I don't think the roots can get to cold either. It is comfortable in the mountains and gets cold but it needs flowing water and the roots need to be in the thick mud I think to protect the roots until established. Of course I'm probably the wrong one to ask as I killed my plants, but hey, I can have an opinion can't I? I would definitely try it, don't let me scare you off. Thanks, Sean

Most certainly. I grow cold season annuals in mine in zone seven. It's too difficult to keep it the proper temperature for tender plants.
