And lastly, from Sue...
There are all kinds of combinations, even for shade. You can even make a pot of things that like moist soil (will require regular watering) or a “water garden” out of a pot with a sealed bottom. A pot for moist soil could be Blue Lobelia, Cardinal Flower, Spider Lily, Copper Iris, Southern Blue Flag, Shining Blue Star, Mist Flower or Golden Alexander. A “water” pot could be Cardinal Flower, Arrow Arum, Pickerel Weed, Water Canna. There might be more – I’d have to check to see which rain garden plants could handle prolonged submersion. Sealed bottom pots CANNOT stay out all winter.
Don’t be afraid to mix annuals and native perennials in the same pot either. The natives can stay when you pull out the annuals.
