I had some in planters, but they got too large and were planted in the garden. Wish I still had some in pots, but I have so many in the yard, now. The landscaper who did our front walkway asked me if I found a sale on boxwood because I had ten little ones in pots. LOL I HAD! Love your planters..I used to have white ones like them.
