it'd be nice to be able to leave them in ground.
I've been Wyoming, Pretoria, Black Knight and Tropicana for years. I've found if I'm doing them in a container it needs to be big or I couldn't keep them watered enough to get good growth or they'd all but burst plastic pots.

I grabbed this at the IA roundup this year and put it in a container. Initially the flowers were just the speckled yellow then it started throwing in this red petal. It's got some standard green foliage but several of the leaves have an inch wide burgundy stripe up through it. Pretty cool for a change.
