    Most don’t do well in containers, they need to live and be free. Still, there are some but they will need care to make it through winters. Youre most likely zone 6.

    you live in zone 7a-7b. you can grow hostas and canna ‘lucifier’. also swamp sunflowers and the musa basjoo banana will have no problem.

    musa basjoo is a real banana. Go on google images and type in musa basjoo.

    Most shouldnt be too hard to find, the basjoo and canna can be forund on the internet, and hostas and swamp flowers are common in nursuries
