Container Gardening?
I am an empty-nester, living in a city apartment in zone 5. I really miss my mixed borders and have started container gardening out on my terrace. Annuals just don’t do it for me, and I have had success with containers of daylilies, hosta, astilbe, lilac and PJM Rhododendrons. Can anyone recommend some good books or web sites on growing perennials in containers? Thank you!
Best reply by fluffernut:
Can’t come up with a book but realize you are fighting perennial’s roots in a confined space. What makes a perennial and perennial is some food storage device; tuber, bulb, rhizome, woody stems, etc.
To carry the plants over you must protect the roots from the cold by insulating the pots and every year or so you’ll need to either pot up or somehow manipulate the plant to keep it in the correct size for the pot……which in turn might interfere with flowering.
I’m not saying it’s impossible as I’ve done it, but it was tough: frequent repotting, root trimming, more watering and feeding due to confined roots and little soil, floppiness, etc.
Think smaller perennials and a shorter bloom period.
