Container Needs for Cut Flowers Mentioned During Class


Helianthus californicus: at least a 7 gallon container. 
Romneya coulteri: at least a 15 gallon container, however if you want to grow Matilija poppies in smaller containers (5-7 gallons) plant Romneya trichocalyx, coulteri's much smaller sibling. 
Tagetes sp. Perennial marigolds should be grown in at least a 7 gallon pot. 
Agapanthus sp. Should be 7 gallon or less. 
Eucalyptus kruseana Should be grown in at least a 15 gallon pot. 
All the others mentioned in the talk can be grown in 8" to 7 gallon pots, however I would suggest using as large a size as possible to decrease stress on the plants.
