Q.New Baptisia over wintered in pot
My Baptisia just grew from seed this summer in a very large pot. Can I overwinter in my CT zone 5 on my deck where it has been? This is the only place on the property that gets 5 hours of sun or more, so I’m afraid to put it in the ground where it may get at best, 3-4 hrs of sun.
