Question

I bought decorative pots from you with great plants for my patio. What is the best way to take care of them during winter. Should I move them undercover? 1 is Ladena, 1 is flax and rosemary

Answer

Your potted plants should be fine exposed through the winter. When we move plants undercover, we often forget to water them. I am not quite sure what plant you mean by Ladena, if you mean Lantana or Verbena, this would need protection if we are due for a hard frost/freeze. Putting this plant undercover then would be advised (after watering it of course). If you mean Lavender, it should be fine like the rosemary and flax.
