Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

23 of 30 survived.
Replanted the last ones. They'll winter over in these 4 big pots, then transplant further next year.

Read somewhere to use equal parts manure/compost, peat and grit for carrot soil.
So, here's my version and it fills the huge planter completely.
Hmm. I'll remove a couple of inches and then add the carrot seeds. Hope they grow long in here.

I also got 10 more of the huge planters. 17.49, plus 20% off. If they were 5 each, I would of gotten them all!
If the hostas do well in the others, I'll probably put each in it's own or 2 in each. Idk.

Moved it to the biggest pot. Will put it next to the front steps. Gotta add plywood to block wind under the steps, as its tall and strong.

@secuono Mine grow just fine out in the garden in zone 8b. There are variegated, bicolor leaf varieties and pink & white blooms.
They bloom in early spring , April . Super easy care, slow growing. Don’t have to trim that often, maybe every 5 years.
Plant in partial shade , need early morning full sun. They are a great shrub. Once established they are drought resistant.
Good Luck
