| + | Do terra cotta pots freeze crack if left outside in the winter<br><br>We are in zone 4 and it can get to 30 below zero but we like the look of terra cotta pots in the garden. We simply bring them in for the winter.<br><br>If you like the look of terra cotta there are a number of plastic pots that look so much like terra terracotta army cotta that you would have to pick them up to tell the difference.<br><br>As for plants we keep a large number of perennials in gallon sized plastic pots and they winter over perfectly well and we keep our bonsai trees buried in plastic pots for the winter and re-pot them in terra cotta for the summer.<br><br>All terra cotta is not created equal. We make terra cotta bird feeders and houses and they have never broken and some of them are more than 10 years old. The secrete is a drain hole in the bottom. Plus they are fired a bit higher than most terra cotta to make them less porous.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br>I have found that it is hit and miss and they can crack at freezing or below. Sometimes they crack terracotta soldiers and sometimes they don I think it has to do with the temperature at which they are fired. I think you would have to protect them when a hard frosy was due or simply go for imitation plastic terra cotta. I know it is not the same but you can get good pots that look the part. Standard sized terra otta pots are really quite cheap anyway (well they are over here in the UK) so why not give it a go and see how they do for a year.<br><br>It depends on whether the terracotta clay mixture had a flexible additive at manufacture. Most that will tolerate frost are marked as such. If not, then you can assume that they will crack when water freezes. weed membrane and a good organic top mulch) they may be OK and besides, even if they crack, (providing you don plan on lifting them) they will still form a root barrier and will remain in place year after year as you have planned. Even if cracked terra cotta soldiers they will continue to contain the good planting soil /environment if left undisturbed. Good luck :-) songyingy20140107 | ||
