Hello all,
I have been asked to give a talk on container gardening at my church and would
like some ideas from the group. What unusual containers have you used for
planting and how did they work.
Thanks a bunch.
Donna

I have several. One has trailing verbena 'Homestead' and 'Blue Daddy' petunias
with bacopa. This seems to work well together and after it looks spent, I cut
it all back and in a few weeks, with some fertilization, it is in full beauty
again and again all summer.

I've also used variegated lantana with sweet potato vine 'Blackie' and trailing
verbena 'Blue Princess.' Also does beautifully all summer.
