Well, hmmm.... the pot I first found at Armstrong, and is also available through Amazon (free shipping). I'm still looking. But I am definitely going to need a couple of big ones and anything heavy at that size is just not feasible for me to deal with unless I pay for help. I will have to pay for help to get the part of the backyard paved:
The grass and cardboard yard is mine. The gravel is the neighbor. Need more boxes. The little nursery pots are seeds I finally got started. Nothing coming up yet and its been since Thursday... yak.
So, no lilac for me. Buddleja would work. I remember seeing one that's very close to that color, and its the color that attracts me first, not the plant itself. Must look for that one again. I need some brights.
Thanks, everybody.
