A few years ago I got the supplies to make one of those tipsy pot things-where the pots are stacked on top of each other at angles, usually up a pole or something. The thing (the post has been sitting on my deck and the pots I bought for it have been otherwise commissioned. Yesterday I was playing around with it, thinking that I could put impatiens or something in the pots. Then, I started thinking that if I got clay bulb pans (they are shorter versions of standard clay pots) that I could plant sempervivums in the pots and then during the cold winter months I could just take the thing apart and let the snow cover the pots on the ground. I stopped and got some pots on my way home tonight. They are short, but they are still 6-8 inches tall. Do you think that I should fill the pots halfway with rocks or some kind of filler that will help with drainage and then just use succulent mix in the top half? Do you think this would work at all or should I stick with impatiens? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts:)
Thanks!
