Plants For Container Gardening...
A Quick Note:
As we move away from urban areas and head back into the cities, we find we have to garden on our balconies, patios, in window boxes, and pots. Don't let this deter you from getting your hands dirty. With a bit more attention paid to the plant selection, you can still enjoy the rewards of a lush garden. Not included in the following list are the countless annuals that do wonderfully in containers. These provide an abundance of flowers for their 3-6 month life span while allowing for seasonal changes in your small garden.
