Wind isn't an issue. Water is. You have to make sure the pots are well drained, if the soil mixture is too heavy and doesn't drain well, the crown will rot.

Somehow I completely missed this post! Welcome, shaggybirdman, and good luck with your hostas. Just one question...do you have a big shady growing area? If not, you may want to start looking for one.
