Mine will be in pots. I'm not going to plant something I have to dig to bring inside. I wouldn't find time to do that. My plants look as tall, and maybe wider because all but 'Tequila Sunrise' have multiple trunks. No hint of bloom, though. It's probably been far to hot here for that to happen. When I spray, I'll probably tip the pots on their side so I can spray thoroughly underneath and on top of the leaves. I only have one growing in a black nursery container and that one is set in a large bean pot and surrounded and covered with pine bark so the pot is concealed. That one is probably going to be the biggest hassle even though the plant is actually in the smallest container. The other three plants are in larger clay pots - heavier, but more accessible. That heat dome promised for nearly all the continental U.S. is well established here at the moment, but there's a chance there will be a bit of cool down mid week. I'll probably wait for that to spray anything on them. If a bit of cooler temperatures doesn't materialize, I'll probably spray them down anyway. If I get my act together, I should be able to time it so the mix will be on long enough to smother things and be protected from any hot sun until they get rinsed off..
