The more soil in the pot, the better insulated the roots will be. ...
Cluster several containers together and move them to a sheltered spot, such as near the house or south-facing wall.
Encircle the containers with chicken wire and fill with leaves or mulch.

Hi Carolyn, I suppose it depends on your climate. In our area we get too much cold and snow, nothing seems to help them except bringing them inside.

What zone are you in Carolyn? Chances are you will need to take in - garage, barn, spare room with west or south facing windows. If in a milder climate, no need to. I am in zone 9 and my plants are out year round.
