Hi,

we have a relatively shallow wall mounted trough under the kitchen window
which is sheltered by an upstairs bay window.

It is very sheltered from rain and so needs regular watering during the
summer.

It currently has a variety of Fuscias in it, but this may not be the best
place to overwinter them.

They are still leaved and some are still flowering.

I think it might be better to overwinter then in the South facing
back garden, in a large pot or in a border.

More soil would protect the roots from frost, and the plants from drought.

I could then transfer them back into the trough for next spring.

Does this sound like a sensible plan, or are they likely to be all right
where they are?

Cheers

Dave R

P.S. suggestions for something decorative to put in the trough over winter?
