I hope that Diana plans to post the responses she gets -- I am also
interested in what perennials people grow in pots --
*  What are most successful perennials to grow in pots in your region
*  What kinds of pots do you use and why
*  What are special considerations for growing perennials in pots (as
opposed to annuals)
*  How do you select the perennials for the pots
*  What soil and fertilizers do you use
*  How often/when do you fertilize
*  WHY do you choose to grow perennials in pots (as opposed to in the ground)
*  Do the perennials last in pots as long as they do in the ground?  ARe
there other differences in the ways they grow?

Thanks!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
