Perennials are such because they often have major root systems or a storage vessel underground which allows them to come back year after year. Confining the root system in a "medium" pot risks the plant as well as the pot. Personally I'd grow annuals in the pitcher that would allow me to empty it out over winter, clean it up and plan the next year's display. Probably the opening isn't that big.....if it was I'd find plants in pots that would fit down into the pitcher, saving the transplanting, just pull the pot. That way you could change up for seasonal display. Since most perennials only flower a few weeks a year, they should not be considered major ornamentals. It is the grouping and succession of bloom that constitutes a nice perennial display. Annuals have no need to spend time forming tubers/bulbs whatever underground so can put their "heart and soul" into season long flowering.

www.MyGardenPlans.com. The plant database is just getting started, but soon will include a wide variety of plants, including pictures, characteristics and tips. This website will also allow people to share pictures of their gardens with an accompanying plant list from the plant database.
