Trees in pots or in ground or in pots in the ground?
Comments (4)Look at some of the pot-in-pot set ups that commercial nurserymen use now. The "socket" pot can go into the ground or sit atop the ground and be surrounded with mulch to stabilize and insulate it. The regular pot can be lifted out at plant sale, or in your case winter. I am going to try it but haven't quite yet....See MoreHow many pips per pot?
Comments (7)Some hostas just look drop dead gorgeous when they unfurl and some need a bit of time to come to color. I would guess that for those hosta that look their best at the time of your sale, you may get away with just two pips rather than the three per pot. We have a store that sells hosta each year. Last year they had a good variety of hosta. Most of the hosta were small sized, but they did have some more mature hostas that year. I did not think that the large hostas sold as easily. I think that people feel that they can buy small and the hosta will mature in no time at all. But we hostaholics know better and sometimes it pays to get a hosta in a larger size. Perhaps you have taken pictures of your hostas in the past years? If you have some good pictures, you may want to display them or have them handy as an example to show a potential customer. These were just some of my thoughts....See MoreZone 5, my hosta in pots have pips!
Comments (3)That is great Sherry! Hopefully the other ME and the pot show life soon too. You are way ahead of me....See MoreIs this a good deal? PIP Eden climber 4" pot $20?
Comments (7)I have to agree with mad and hoovb, that's a very tiny plant to try and winter over in zone 5. It's too small to plant out and even wintering it in a pot would be iffy. And don't try to bring it inside. While I have heard of people doing it I've never successfully kept a rose inside the house over an entire winter. Household climates are rarely conducive to happy healthy rose growth. I'd either wait until next spring or order something from a nursery for spring delivery. Besides, this is a newer variety and will probably be available locally next spring....See Morenicholsworth Z6 Indianapolis
