I am concerned that many of my Hostas (growing in Pots) do not appear to have survided the winted.Am I just being impatient or could I have lost them?
Thank you in anticipation Patricia Lancaster

You may be being impatient, it's still winter, but if you live in a colder part of the country, unless you provided protection for the pots, is it possible that the pots froze solid, particularly for longer than a week? If the compost was frozen and remained so for a good while, its possible your plants have been killed.
