What is a good shrub to plant in a lrg. pot???
I have a dwarf hydrangea in a pot and it grows very well and blooms all summer long. Be sure to check the soil daily in the pot because shrubs and trees tend to dry out very quickly in the hot summer months. Evergreens such as junipers can be grown in pots but you may have to repot ever few years to keep up with the growth and this can get tricky after a while especially if you have to move them.
Reply:yes they do just use a big pot and good soil.It may have to be re-potted after 2 years or so but by then you may know of something you like better and plant that in the yard.Shrub roses do well as do Hydrangea,Japanese maples,and tree roses hope that helped Enjoy!
Reply:I live in the south so this may not work for you but you could always put a slow growing palm in a large pot. They do really well and take little to no care.
