I started this thread to encourage anyone with experience to mention what species they find easy or hard to mantain in pots, and any cultural Do's or Don'ts they have learned.
I don't have much experience in pots or planters, but some perennials I would love to grow in pots are:
- many varieties of Salvia, so I can move them around and isolate them from other Salvia so i can collect true seeds
- Lavender, since I have clay and constant drizzle, and wnat to give them sharp drainage
- Columbine, just so i can have many varieties
- Penstemeon, just becuase I;m havuing a hard time starting them, and would not want to lose one to slugs or garden fork.
Also, I have very limited space in raised beds with sun, but I do have a deck and a driveway with sunny spots.
