What plant pots can stay outside in winter?
In this case, a frostproof pot with a drainage hole is important. Fiberglass, lead, iron, heavy plastic, and stone are the best weather-resistant containers to use; terra-cotta will eventually expand and crack with repeated freezing and thawing.

Assemble your designs early enough that the plants have time to acclimate to their new pots before the hard freeze.
What are low maintenance outdoor potted plants all year?
A few of our favourite low maintenance plants include Buxus Balls, Cordylines, Eucalyptus, Fatsia Caster Oil, Ornamental Grasses and Palms and each of these plants are hardy and evergreen meaning you will have all year round structure within your garden displays. Evergreens like bay trees, cordylines, and hebes are reliable and tidy. Hardy grasses, sedums, and dwarf shrubs require little pruning and are drought tolerant once established. Choosing larger pots also helps, as they dry out more slowly and reduce the need for frequent watering.
