My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

japanese Blood Grass, containers???

15 years ago

Hello~

what is your suggestion for planting BG in containers and then sinking them in the ground. I want to do this to keep the specimens from spreading.

Should I keep the edge of the pot above the soil line to keep and roots from 'jumping'. I'm assuming I cut the bottom out of the pot before planting. Just want to make sure I do this right the first time!

Thanks
