Containers of Phormium (long narrow coloured leaves) and Begonia Bonfire made a fantastic display all summer and fall on tall poles around the parking lot of my local garden centre. I was surprised, as I always plant my hardy begonias in the shade, like under camellias. The containers are still on their poles, and the Phormiums still look good. I wonder if the begonias will resprout? Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada maritime zone 8, cool Mediterranean climate mild rainy winters, mild dry summers
