Thanks, Jeroen! If I am correct in my celsius vs. fahrenheit temps, -5 to -15 c. is 27 to 17 degrees f. Is that correct? Would that be about a zone 7 here in the states? Anyone?
Reason I ask is I have alot of hostas in pots and would like to keep them that way, and maybe add more in pots. I think if I let them go dormant naturally then move them to a cold area of the greenhouse for the rest of the winter, that would be about Jeroen's temps. Maybe? We can get to -10 f. here on occasion.

oops, I was posting at the same time. Yes, there is a real debate whether to keep them bone dry or to water. I watered mine about once a month last year...doing the moving to the greenhouse thing...and they did beautifully. I watered my beds monthly also if we didn't get rain. My beds drain too well and they get really too dry it seems if I don't....but then I learned hosta are not like other perennials....
Yours just look beautiful, Jeroen. I would like to see a pic as they are emerging in the spring. I'll bet that is an awesome sight!

Don't trouble yourself about the cold. Hosta in pots have 2 problems and cold isn't one of them.Reason I ask is I have alot of hostas in pots and would like to keep them that way, and maybe add more in pots.

1 emerging early and facing freezes
2 the freeze thaw because it is easy for moisture to collect on the surface of the soil go through the freeze thaw cycle.
Put some form of mulch on/in the pots.
