Regarding windering plants: I can only offer what I read
in Slack. He wrote of a man who had a small bog garden
in a large planter. The guy put 4" or so of live moss over
his plants when they went dormant, and left the whole affair
outside. In the spring he removed the moss, which protected
the plants from a freeze, and they reportedly did well.
Perhaps you could pack the pots in compost, which if chosen
carefully will generate some heat, and put moss over the tops?
Keep the root system from freezing seems to be the mesg here.
