This is a real trooper. I brought it at one of those discount stores in a body bag. Because I was house hunting I knew I was coming with me.

I planted it in a styrofoam box that I received from Omaha Steak. I did not find a house as fast as I thought I would so it was in it styrofoam box for 2 years.

I found a house but I am working on developing many gardens and setting them up so it now has been in its box now for 5 years. I have taken a rose out of a body bag and planted it in a styrofoam coffin and it seems to love the treatment.

Cool!
There's an entire thread dedicated to using styrofoam boxes as planters over in the containers forum.

HAHAHAH!! That's classic! I love it! I can see where styrofoam (TM) would make a great planter box!.. won't decay fast, sweats in the heat, basically just like a greenhouse upside down! I love it!

I have to go over to the Styrofoam post. I have been growing so many of my plants in them. After I decorate with rocks, gravel, even paint. They work so good in my climate to keep temps steady even in winter.

I tried to post a pic of the rose but it is not accepting pics. I will update the pics when the photo function returns. Let me try again.

I agree - they work great. some folks carve and paint theirs. I get medication in large styrofoam boxes every three months so I have a surplus. I carve them, rough them up and paint them to look like stone or mock hypertufa as best I can.
