UniQueTreasures - love the containers and plants are beautiful. In Texas do the container plantings last year-round. In zone 5 they're gone after the first frost and we have to start again next year. My son-in-law tells me I'm throwing my $$$$ away but I told him it's my beer and it shut him up. I haven't tried perrennials in containers because they're kind of "ify" in zone 5. It's my enjoyment from May-October to plant, take care of, dead-head, water, and watch them grow and fill in the containers along with my perennial gardens. And it adds curb-appeal!!
