I am 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 for the input!

Nan

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
