Hello this is the back deck at my house in House Springs, My sister Cathy and I planted all these flowers for Mother's day. I have them hooked into a www.dripworks.com watering system . twice a day the timer turns on for about 10 minutes and waters all the plants conainers, a few in the corner and the center also have a sprayer on them too. Easy to care for. I used osmocote fertilizer at planting as recommender my Martha Steward. they look great. hate for fall to come. Don june 06
