What pots for what flowers

When you buy seeds on the back of the packet is written the size a plant will reach at maturity, but I was skeptical until I saw it with my own eyes. Now I know and the size of the plants for the right pot are as follow. 8 to 12 inche s plants in pots 6 inches size . 12 to 18 inches plants in pots 8 inches size. The only problem with 6 inches size pots is that you need to water daily in very hot weather(in texas reaching 107 F) and it may become tedious. That's why using smaller size pots I consider practically nuts!. Zinnia Zahara rose in 6 inches pot. You can use rectangular pots, circulars, whatever shape you want, especially if you want to give an accent to a garden area

Profile.

I'm BetoEE. From 2010 to 2011 I started this blog to experience the process of my first and last square foot vegetable garden. During the process I did things right and wrong(mostly wrong). During the following years I stopped growing vegetables, annuals and perennials from seed, and moved to grow few small cactus plants(not from seed). Then I took a hiatus forced by frustration, and didn't want to know more about growing anything from seed. So my solution was to buy six pack annual plants for the next five years to grow them in pots. In the process I stopped writing here. Almost 15 years later, the contributions from people to the internet made possible to learn more. From YouTube, to more digital content on different platforms. As a result I learned much more and overcame my mistakes. My current blog is at the link below.
