Winters can get very cold here so I grow all mine in pots and they all go into a cold, but insulated greenhouse for the winter and I half bury their pots in the compost in the greenhouse borders for extra insulation.
Works so far with blue and white forms and deciduous and evergreen in biggish pots. Didn't work they year I sowed the seeds and tried to over winter seedlings in 4" pots. Lost the lot.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Not a clue why they wouldn't grow in Wilts, grew them in restricted pots just the same , the pots in Edinburgh were cheap 'zinc', Wilts were terracotta. I got one year out of them and the never came back. Grew tomatoes outside in Wilts but never in Edinburgh. Both south facing sites.
