I have never grown perennials in pots before! This year I have Red Root, Rocky Mountain Columbine, Kinnikinnick, Spearmint, Blackberries, strawberries. I have no idea how to overwinter them. Still learning.
This woman is in 6a (Chicago) and I am in 6b, so pretty close. She goes over how to overwinter plants and fruit trees in pots. An overview of how she overwinters.
