    Red Hot Pokers

    My step mother gave me huge clumps of Red Hot Pokers because they were taking over her mailbox area. She told me to just divide them up and plant them where ever they will get full sun. Do these do better in moist or dryer soil? How big should I divide the clumps? How should I plant them? (do...

    Tips on growing Morning Glories?

    I dont know about growing in the house... They can reach 20'+! But I guess it would depend on the variety you have. What is the difference in putting them in a pot vs the ground?
