An Update on My Containers! Garden Answer Sherry: Super bells have always been my favorite! Ive planted them (mono) in my containers for several years. I used to have an awesome nursery that sold Proven Winners in all the colors. Grape Punch was also my favorite, but the deep crimson red ones were a close second. I moved to a new state a few years ago, and have yet to find a nursery that carries a healthy variety of super bells. In fact, when I walk in and ask if they have super bells they never know what Im talking about. They dont call them by that name here.

Superbells have a predisposition to get a fungal root disease which kills them rather quickly. I live in an arid climate, planted them in a new hanging pot with new coir liner, used new, quality container potting soil, watered heavily once a day. I doubt the conditions I have here contributed to the plants getting the fungal disease. I fully believe the disease was already in the roots of the plants when I bought them. Not buying overpriced Proven Winners again.

Love the mono containers. Just wondering: When the supertunias get so big and full around the base of the boxwood and block the light for weeks--does that affect the boxwood at all? Does the box defoliate, lose its color or does it cause the bottom stems to grow long and lanky? I'd like to do this next year with a conical boxwood in one of my containers, but I like to decorate the boxwood for the holiday season and don't want the boxwood to be misshapen or defoliated.

Hi Laura. I'm from the Caribbean and unable to find supertunias in my country. From my research, they are propagated from cuttings not seeds. I have ordered some easy Wave petunia seeds and I'm hoping for the best. Have you worked with easy wave petunias before? Where I will plant them gets sun all day and it does get very hot here in Jamaica. Any advice?

Can all the beautiful annuals you show be grown from seed? I like to plant annual or perennial seeds in rows in my vegetable garden and then transplant them when they are ready. Could you do a video on that next spring? I use a covering hoop at the start, usually April here in our coastal zone. It is too expensive to buy in pots.

next garden tour must be a very long one. please! :D. also when its time for fall could you do a formal video just about ornamental cabbage. [When to plant, at what temperature, care. also overwintering, probagating, or starting from seeds (if that's even possible)]. thank you! I think that video will be very well received! :D

an open question to all of the experienced cold weather gardeners out there - so when you have evergreens planted in containers how do they overwinter? Can they stay outside or do they have to be brought into a barn or indoor space? Im in zone 5B and winters get crazy cold and Im worried about roots above the frost line.

Hello Laura was wondering if you could advise. We had turf laid about a month ago and watered it for hours every day. Mowed it a little at a time but now there are some brown grass come through. It looks lovely at present but worried that it will turn all brown. Hope you can advise. Thanking you in advance.

Your flowers always look beautiful. I have a question. I was thinking of planting my hydrangeas in pots. But I am not sure will they be safe in the winter. I live in Michigan so the winter gets cold. If they would be ok to plant them is there something I need to prepare for the winter. Thanks for any info.

I caught a glimpse of the limelight hydrangea tree. How are those two doing? I live in Zone 8 and have had success with one hydrangea so I'm really curious how the tree version is holding up in that sunny location. Looking forward to an update. :)
