I am used to growing MG in my garden beds, but would like to grow the really special ones in pots to be able to enjoy them more. What is the minimum size pot or minimum soil depth I can grow them in. It would break my heart should I loose my plants due to the fact that they need more root space.

Thanks in advance,
Elsa

Hi Elsa, after much advice here I settled for the 2 gallon size. I have 1-3 plants in each one and they are doing great!

Elsa123 - as per your question regarding the minimum depth and container size...

I usually can grow MG plants of the most common species to a flowering size of several feet in containers that are 6" deep by 4" to 6" wide but larger containers would be better for specimen plants...

TTY,...

Ron
