to grow moss rose in a brug pot. Too much water and too much food. This is a gorgeous double rose portulaca and it was only a tiny plant in a 3" pot less than two months ago.
it wasn't recommended
Wow tiG! That looks beautiful! Sure looks like your Brug has a Y too. LOL
it has about 6 Y's and only a few buds. It's Pink Beauty, that would be much more beautiful with real flowers!!!!!!!
Just joshing you. It looks like a giant Y. :) Cala offered to mail me some blooms to glue on mine.
TiG,
I'm finding everything I underplanted with the brugs are doing just great!! especially since mine are in really ugly buckets sunk in the ground...lol.
coleus does really well too.
TiG,
My coleus are doing great with the brugs as are the geraniums.
tiG . . very pretty. Hope you got lots of blooms on PB.
Your garden and plants are absolutely beautiful. Great job tiG.
LOL!! if you stand in the right spot and squint! thanks
tig, my passifloras are doing great on the brugs. maybe it's cause my soil is so sandy, what the cats haven't eaten look great. they climb up them and the cats prefer the PF to brugs.
Arlene, there's only one problem, the PFs are getting to big!! When I drag them in the greenhouse, it will be a real jungle.
TiG, I've found lots of things do good under the brugs.

tiG,
it's pretty!!!
Glory, I grew petunias under Whiskers too after I saw yours. But Whiskers is so tall, they don't really compliment it. I'm going to put her in the ground in the spring.
TiG, Whiskers looks good with a morifolia PV draped over it's branches. You just have to keep the PV trimmed.
looks great Tig,never thought about the moss rose
That stone is a nice touch too.
thanks JT, that's our pond behind it. one of them, not the best.
Git, i am so impressed, that is a huge PB. When she decides to bloom you will be in seventh heaven! I also have planted moss rose in my baskets with other water loving plants and they have done great.
What are you going to do with that in the winter?? Definitly worth overwintering! Think how grand it will be next year.
This one will come in, moss rose and all. I'd be more impressed with the brug if it had bloomed yet. This is a 25 gallon pot, and the moss rose is almost to the bottom! I need to cut it back but it keeps on blooming!
I would never have though of Moss Rose in a brug pot. Yours is really pretty. Most of mine just have coleus or sweet potato plants in them. They do well, but do suck up the water quickly. Great looking picture.
I put a few passifloras also in with my brug pots after Cala posted about vines in with her's. I also have morning glories in a few pots. They only just recently sprouted, have no idea why as I planted them in pots back in the spring and none came up so I reused the soil. I'm hoping they look real pretty when they do flower.
I had a morning glory (1) in with one of my brugs, a good strong one, and that vine nearly killed the plant. I had to unwrap it and now the brug looks kinda knarly and the branches are wide open. I'll never put a glory with a brug again. Put a passiflora (red) on one of my Bluebird Rose of Sharon bushes. Won't do that again either. It is pretty that way, but I'm really going to have a job getting it all cut out of there this fall. Of course, this passiflora is a great grower and has made it to the cannas and daturas too. It really is a jungle here.
Oh oh...i better be careful with that then. My morning glories are really small since they sprouted so late. Red Star is blooming now. It was supposed to be Mount Fuji.
