    Forum post by Linnea on 14 Sep 2009

    strawbs are most definately perennials! should last 5 years or so although sropping may deteriorate in later years so useful to replace after 3ish as for growing in a pot I had a pot like you mention and never covered it in winter and the plants survived fine, although I am a bit further south than you! The biggest winter problem is wet. the roots of the plants will rot if left standing in water however you mention the pot has drainage so should be fine. If in doubt cover with a double layer of horticultural Read more..
