Size Matters

• Use containers that are 14 inches in diameter (or larger) and made out of nonporous material (so they don't crack during a cold spell).

• Poly resin and faux stone pots, like those pictured here, are well-suited for winter plantings.

• When choosing a pot, make sure that it has good drainage holes.
