I think the advantage of growing in pots is you can use a good compost mix, and keep them properly watered as well as give an occasional liquid tomato feed. They like leafy compost, see how well mine have done. I can't say for sure how big the pot is, but it must be close on a foot deep and 10" diam.

I only got 2 flowers but those leaves are worth it, some varieties make more flowers. If I had left them all in a huge pot together then this year there would have been lots more flowers but they were crowded, I would expect the really large ones to do quite well this year.
