I am new to being active on DG, tho I've been reading and learning here a while and have been amazed and inspired. I have a pair of old milk cans and I want to plant them for full sun, preferably hardy --to stay out there for more than a year. I've never grown Russian Sage (or the Little Spire version) but they do well here. Will the big one be too big in 1-2 years? Will they get too hot,? By DG's map I am in zone 5b, and Sunset zone 35 or 41-right on the edge. I've just read the sticky with "Container Soils and Water Movement in Containers". That sounds helpful. It will keep it well drained, and aerated. But maybe there are better plants for milk cans in my climate? Maybe milk cans aren't good planter candidates? TIA for any advice, suggestions, PrairieFolly
