Re: Any colorful shade plants that last all summer?

You can plant it in a pot with no bottom provided the depth of the pot is
deeper than the rhizomes would go.  If the plant spreads fairly high up,
then you would need to have the pot extend above the soil line as well.
Some plants are worth the hassle!
