Plants are chosen for their mounding or hanging qualities. Each of the big pots takes about 10 plants. Finished, the pots weigh about 60 pounds, so they need a strong wrought iron ring and hanger. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks until the plants grow enough foliage to hide the pot and start blooming. We visit with OSU Extension wildlife biologist Dan Edge .
