Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Brugs In Containers, 1 by orange_knickers

Since I am very limited on space in my courtyard, I have decided to grow my brugs in containers. This may have been better suited on the container gardening forum, but this is where the brug experts hang out, so I'll post it here. I purchased two large pots today at Target. They're light weight plastic pots, unbreakable. I figured these would be easier to move around and inside and out. I'm just not sure if they're big enough. I'm planning on putting one unk pink and one grimaldi in them. They hold 37 quarts and measure 20" diameter and 22" deep. Any idea what kind of growth I might get with these? I'm sure weather and other factors matter, but are the pots big enough? I know they need gravel in the bottom as well and will drill some drainage holes too. I was also thinking of planting some annuals in them as well, to cover all the soil, like petunias. I'm guessing they'll have the same nutrient requirements? Any suggestions would be appreciated. There is a picture below, but it does no justice to the size of them. Use my measurements from above. Oh, and one more question. The leaves on one of mine unk yellows are about 13" long. Is this normal? Biggest leaves I've ever seen!

Thanks,
