Planters Around Pool and what to plant with Dragon Wings

Posted by indylars Indianapolis 5 (wlars1963@aol.com) on

I am in charge this year of planting the large planters around our Condo pool. First can the Dragon Wing handle full sun? Are they heavy feeders? How big will they get? Would it be wise to plant several to mass em out?
And finally what can be planted with them to drape down the sides.

One plant can fill a large container in a few weeks. They can handle full sun provided you never let them dry out else they will drop leaves like crazy. They aren't heavy feeders but a good regimen will make better plants. They can get a couple feet tall (maybe taller in the ground?) and fill out an 18 inch pot. Several would make a bigger show but give them some space to grow.

There are so many draping plants that would look good. Just make sure that the requirements are the same such as sun and water.

Do you think elephant ears would look good?
