If you'd like another option for catmint that is blue--try Salvia--it grows to the same height and will continue to bloom into the fall repeatedly. The iceberg rose is a beautiful rose varietal that you might consider (don't know mature height though).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446668230664443052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-36829009834704054192011-04-06T22:38:59.059-04:002011-04-06T22:38:59.059-04:00I love this garden.

Janet - you raise a good point about seeing all the containers so perhaps the kiddie pool that Andie and Liz suggest would be solution, provided I can camouflage the exterior with stones. Not sure I can get the kiddie pool in the car though (never bought one before!), but it's something to consider.Boxwood Terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635278108636515992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-38796144122844126962011-04-06T22:16:35.540-04:002011-04-06T22:16:35.540-04:00I was thinnking like Divine Theatre said...perhaps...I was thinnking like Divine Theatre said...perhaps a pre-formed pond could work too. They have some in a round shape too. I just don't know how big of a space you are working with. You can add those wall stones around the outside to give it some design! Use some rich organic compost (you can buy it by the bag) to enrich your soil. Roses love sun, fertilizer and good soil!Lizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375091482164484893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-91637737742207308152011-04-06T21:45:23.862-04:002011-04-06T21:45:23.862-04:00Love the charming illustration and the compact des...Love the charming illustration and the compact design - so pretty!!quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484326999396839391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-61974926091773488472011-04-06T20:27:49.754-04:002011-04-06T20:27:49.754-04:00Just my two cents...you may try to find a used kid...Just my two cents...you may try to find a used kiddie pool and paint it green.

Probably, will need to elevate the center container. The only problem with container gardens is that you have to work overtime in the summer sun or in windy climates to keep them hydrated.
