This is how I am mulching my Lycoides and Cardinal Fuchsia's that survived the hot summer. I keep packing more leaves in those pots. I think they are 10 gallon pots. I am using what ever I got handy to mulch them. So there may be walnut and some poplar, but mostly it's wisteria leaves.
If it gets' below freezing I usually cover them plants with an old sheet too. It usually only freezes once or thrice a year where I live. Although we do get snow from time to time. Usually it melts before it hits the ground, though.
I liked the "Mulch Cylinder" for overwintering outside. Cool idea. I mispoke, warm idea! Cheesecloth might be a good solution to capping them off. Allows water through, and depending on how much you stretch it a certain amount of light. Don't know if it would work for some of you 'cause of your zones.
Just a thought.
