David, what species is that? 

It sounds like my experience here with Tricyrtis macrantha, where a plant in
a big cement pot is thriving and should be magnificent this fall. 

If you don't know this species, try to imagine a Polygonatum with big,
Fritillaria like drooping yellow flowers profusely spotted red inside. It's
the best! You can take a look here:
