Generally plants do better in the ground than in pots. Pots are for if
you need to move the plants around (eg to take them inside in the
winter, or move them into an obscure spot while they're not flowering)
or because you can't provide their preferred soil conditions in your
garden.


We saw a really pretty blue flowered plant at Waterperry last week. The
'gardener' didn't know what it was, the office didn't know when she took
a photo and phoned it back to them and she suggested either thyme or
rosemary.
Eventually a lovely old lady walked past and said casually that it was a
blue savory. Very pretty and most of the group i was with have resolved
to try and buy a plant!
Needless to say, none in the garden centre attached to the gardens as
ever.
