  Being an inexperienced gardener, I have found your videos invaluable!  I am learning how plant size at maturity affects how many plants to put in when filling containers.  Most of my gardening is container gardening.  I was especially proud of large twin containers I planted back in the spring. I wanted every inch of the containers covered with the biggest most beautiful plants I had for each side of my lamppost in front. When I completed them I found them to be massive, beautiful shoe stoppers in my humble and accurate opinion. LOL. I was so proud of them. I had SEVERAL of most of these plants Dragon Wing Begonias, Caladiums, Purslane, Creeping Jenny, and probably many other things now hidden in the plant. It has become massive, and I quite honestly can’t understand how the pole is holding both containers. The two plants are no longer two, but have become one solid huge plant. I think I learned my lesson with this one. Thank you for taking time to do your videos. You are appreciated!!

  Last year I planted 1 Supertunia vista bubble gum in each of my 18 inch planters and those plants not only filled these pots but they over flowed.

  I&apos;ve commented this on prior years. I take the PW recipe and cut it in half. They are designed to look nice right now and not to look good in 4 weeks when they hit the mature size.<br><br>It also saves you a good chunk of money :)

  I’d love to see a video on how to get the flowers to mix instead of clump in their own area/color. I have 10 window boxes and I get more color clumping than I’d like.

  You always give so much good information. Thank you for not only talking about proven where winners I wish there was more information about Monroe via and some of the other companies out there.

  Totally agree, I have 18” pots and plant 3-4 supertunias. That’s plenty and I usually need to trim them mid simmer.

  get 10&quot; square box from dollar tree (labeled as &quot;dry erase plastic locker bins with handles&quot;), drill 4 holes at the bottom. use one box for each petunia. u could always drag the container to 3 ft apart as the vista grows wider. i used 12 boxes last year and all boxes were covered up by vista in september , it looked completely like ground cover. no one knew they were in boxes
