Another view from the side - the Heuchera really filled out the brim of the container nicely.

hag49, I really crammed the plants in this one :) There were at least 8 of the Heuchera planted around the brim. In answer to your question, no they were not planted in pots within the container, but I did try to mound up the soil in the center a little to give a few of the plants more height.

Good news, I finally got my container entry for this year planted on Friday. I'll be taking pictures soon and will post them. Not quite as full as last year's entry, but hoping that everything will grow on as planned and fill in to make a spectacular container by the end of the summer when the deadline for entries comes around. This is my only container planting this year as I haven't had time to get the plants we purchased over a month ago in the ground let alone plant up more containers!
