I put a couple in pots, and have one to go in the ground.
This is the first year I have grown it. There are different varieties. The ones I bought are the smaller variety. I can't remember the name off hand right now. I'm hoping that I'll get some seeds to try sowing with for next year.

Mine is called 'Pink Fountain' and it grows 2' - 3'. The greenhouse had it marked as a height feature plant for containers, and I took that to mean the centre plant of a combination pot.

I've searched it and seen it in a couple of combination pots, where it looks kind of non-descript. But, I'm wondering if it would look a bit boring in a pot by itself. Might be one that we just have to experiment a bit with.

Hi Shauna, no it didn't survive that spring. It did survive the overwintering in the pumphouse but I brought it up too early and it died shortly after that.

If I ever try this plant again, I'll overwinter it in the house in the cool room downstairs near a window and don't bring it out till May.

Sorry no photo, but I did have it by itself in a 12" pot, I think it would be too busy if you were to combine something at the bottom of it. JMO.

Take photos of yours thou ;)

Oh no, I have mine in a mixed planter with petunias and osteospermum. Looks good now though.
Too late to move things around. I don't have anymore pots.
Mine is Ballerina Rose.

I just picked up a couple of these at the garden center the other day. They had it in pots with a lot of other things. BUT the owner of the greenhouse was telling me that in her garden, she put it in front of her echinachea. Which sounds nice! She also told me it is an annual in zone 3.

Now I am wishing I had purchased some for that! I put mine in a hole in my perennial bed.

I might have to see if I can get some seed of this for next year!
