mute_witness's Container Madness garden

Garden Type: Container | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Potting Mix

I LOVE using containers to feed my impulses! Sometimes I am short on cash and/or not feeling decisive about long-term perennial commitments and placement. That’s when buying interesting combinations of inexpensive annuals or fun, tender specimen plants to stick in pots and planters is the way to go.

It’s non-commital, ultra-creative and cheap gardening at its finest!

    Hey…it can supposedly be propagated by leaf or stem cuttings. I’ve always wanted to try that and I do have some rooting hormone.
    I will try to make you some!
