I live in Brooklyn and recently started a roof garden.
Current plants will die or move inside as the weather changes, but I want to keep things growing up there, so I need to find plants that can survive being grown in containers in full sun through the fall and as long into winter as possible.
Internet tells me NYC is zone 6b and to go colder for containers. Suggestions found are mostly trees, not practical here. I'm guessing ornamental cabbage and ivy, but is there anything more interesting or colorful I could plant that might survive?
