OC's Container grown plants.

Post by oldcoot »

Once again OC has not done due dilligence to this groups and he once again apologizes. He HAS posted pictures of his pot grown Iris on the Iris Forum, and his early bloomers on the perennial group.

These Liliums were boutgh from Chris and planted in April.With the cool weather we have had at night (unusual for us this time of year) got a slow start, b ut now are doing great. Somed taller than others

Here are some of his pots taken last week, OC

Thank you for posting your pots. Those are some awesome colors you have growing in pots. I think I will try a few of my hardy plants in pots. It would be nice to see them up close and personal. :D

This fall

Post by oldcoot »

OC left most of his Liliums and Daylilies on his deck. Was afraid to move all of the Lilums outside in the new bed, until he sees what the ones he did move out there do in he shade. Hope the shade lets them last a little longer.

Has planted a few Hyacinths and Pink Daffodils in pots for the spring. Has some Grape Hyacinths left in their pots from last year. Be interesting to see if they come back.....
Also has several large Hostas that over winter in their large tubs (20 Gal) Been there for four years with no problems. Got three pots of Cannas he is going to leave out because he is too lazy to replant them. If they don't make it, he has a whole yard full he can dig several of up and replant.

COME ON SPING.....FORGET WINTER.
