Hostas can be successfully grown in containers if you take the proper steps.  

Here's what you need to do.

If you want to grow them for more than a year or two, you’ll need to  either plant them in the ground or repot them with fresh potting soil.

And if you choose the latter, gently remove as much soil off the roots  as you can and then repot in fresh potting soil. You can either repot in  the same container or go one size up.

To successfully overwinter hostas in containers where winters are cold, choose varieties that are two times your hardiness zone.
