I have "Hens and Chicks" in clay pots outside

Trixie63 on Jun 28, 2015I live in northwest Ohio and I usually bury them under a ton of mulch. I've tried bringing them into the garage but forget to water them. I've found over the years that when I set them on the ground and mulch with shredded leaves, they do great.1 marked as helpful Reply

CottonwoodMama on Jun 28, 2015I've always just left mine in the pots and they were fine, although I'm in zone 5. I don't even mulch, although it's easy enough. They are pretty hardy.Helpful Reply

Sari Graham on Jun 29, 2015I live in southwest Washington State, and I've always left them outside next to the house. While our winters are mostly rain, we do dip down to below freezing December into February. I haven't done anything special to them. I'm between zone 8a and 8b.1 marked as helpful Reply

Sue stricker on Aug 19, 2015Lived in WV and MD and simply left them outside. No mulch or anything. They did fine. A neighbor stole one of mine and hid it in her basement for the winter--it died--go figure. She confessed and returned the pot.Helpful Reply
