  Blue Mouse Ears Hosta in Hypertufa Pot Advantages of Growing Hostas in Pots Potted hostas are not only a great way to show off those gorgeous hosta leaves, but there are many other advantages to growing hosta plants in pots and containers.   I bet there are a few advantages listed here that you haven't thought of. 

Winter Care for Hosta Plants Hostas are hardy in cold winters. In fact, hostas only need four to six weeks of temperatures below 40 degrees for the hostas to go dormant and get their winter sleep. There is no winter growth during this time like there is with some other perennials.  

        Reviving the Old Soil in Hosta Pots Your potted hostas will greatly benefit from the container soil being refreshed every year.  It doesn't take long, and your hostas will thank you by displaying beautiful, healthy leaves. And as you know, when we talk about hostas, It's All About the Leaves!!! Once you learn the basics of healthy soil, you'll be able to recharge last year's potting soil and save a lot of money by doing so.
