Q.small containers

Zone 78752 | Anonymous added on August 13, 2020 | Answered

Hi! I have a lot of containers that are around 8 inches deep or less and I’m wondering if there are many plants that would do well in that depth of container, or if the depth matters. I know that succulents have short roots and do well in shallow containers, but I’d love to have some colorful annuals to put in these pots. Thank you!

Some simple bedding plants like begonias, impatiens, coleus, marigolds, moss rose. You would only have room for one type of plant and you would have to check them daily for watering needs. Here are more suggestions:
