I planted these to enter in Fine Gardening's 2005 Container contest. I'm a big fan of foliage plants and was excited to see their contest rules this year - Foliage Only, No Flowers! My biggest problem was finding the right container. I don't like most of the containers that they sell at the local Walmart and Lowes and was looking for one with a simple design and one that wasn't too expensive. Because I wanted to fill it with as many as plants as I could possibly fit to make it look full, it was hard to find one within my budget. As I made my final decision and headed to the check out, I found these - garden hose containers! Simple enough, reasonable price and the hole in the bottom of the pot for the garden hose provided excellent drainage!

Here's the first one I planted:
