Tee, Tamara, and Ann,

Thank you! Big Grin

This year I have 40 containers, but I planned on having 48 - 50, but because of the long very wet Spring we had and then, the very long hot Summer, I couldn't do it and I had plants die that while waiting to be potted up. Crying Sad

Trying to make sure all the containers and the flowers I planted into the ground this yr., I spent all my time trying to keep them watered. I still ended up having newly planted Agastaches die in the ground. Blinking I have containers in 24", 20", 16" and 3 large black tubs (nurseries use that size for trees), see pic 6 for two of them. I've been trying to only use those sizes and larger and not pot up containers any smaller anymore.

The first pic is Phygelius 'Croftway Purple Prince' (Cape Fuchsia). Zone 7 plant. It's my first time planting it and I Lovey dubby it! I found it this yr. at my local Lowe's in a one gallon pot. Thumbs up

I'll check the two containers of Coleus this wk. and let you know. Smiling

I'm really looking forward to the 70's this wk. also! We might get some of TS Lee during a few days this wk. We sure need some days of good soaking rains here.
Welcome to the Agastache and Salvias Forum!

Hummingbirds are beautiful flying jewels in the garden!
