It would have to be a very deep bottomless pot, Pam, or those boxwood roots will find the compost and manure and invade the pot.

MG's are glorious in bloom but the downside is the self-seeding. Even the cultivars with a minimum of seeding, it's an issue to pull every unwanted one and do it weekly.

My friend has had the Moonflower and no self-seeding but that would only give you night blooms, which is still better than no blooms.

I've seen my share of clem's whose prices are extreme and I do avoid them. Here's one that was on Cape Cod that I didn't buy!
