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.

Pennisetum in containers

17 years ago

I would love to grow a couple pennisetum alopecuroides "Hameln" in containers for my deck. If I bring them in to my garage in the winter, do you think they would not only survive, but thrive?? How big a container do you think I would need???

Thanks to all who answer questions here. I wouldn't know where else to go.....
