Hanging Baskets - overwintering
 

Is it possible to successfully overwinter plants from my summer hanging
baskets, in a cold greenhouse? The plants are verbena tapien, bacopa,
diascia, brachyscome? These plants cost me a fortune, so I'd like to be
able to save them for next year, if possible.

Thanks.

Depends where you are in the country, but we have overwintered bacopa in a
cold greenhouse. We have a mini greenhouse inside the cold greenhouse and
that is where a lot will be overwintered.

The answer is yes for bacopa, diascia and brachycome, don't know about
verbena. In fact I leave Brachycomes and Diascia in the ground ( not a
hanging basket mind ) and they overwinter easily there ( near a wall ).
I'm in south Devon so not perhaps the harshest test they could have.
