I fashioned a little larger hole using the same method. The Queen Tut was grown in a little larger container with a more vigorous root system. I admit in a yard full of monster perennials, I really had become slack in choosing vertical plants for height in containers. I felt this would be the perfect vertical but dwarf element for the containers. A week or so later I received Graceful Grasses Queen Tut papyrus. Then I used my fingers to fashion the hole in the potting soil just right for planting the petunia. I used my trowel to gently part or start a crevice in between the runners of the Creeping Jenny. The containers already looked full, fairly fluffy and really pleasing. In early April, I had the opportunity to try the new Supertunia Mini Vista Scarlet petunia. They came through the winter perfectly, perhaps flinching a day or two after we had a 21-degree day on March 13. I planted Superbells Grape Punch and Superbells Tangerine Punch calibrachoas in the container that always have Goldilocks Creeping Jenny and White Knight sweet alyssum, which has been acting perennially for me.

(Norman Winter/TNS) Graceful Grasses Prince Tut is lit by the morning sun. Graceful Grasses Queen Tut is a dwarf papyrus perfect for giving a vertical element to small containers. The containers get adjusted two or three times a year, and I am headed to where they were what I call Tut Tweaked. They are about 20 inches tall, ceramic-glazed and about the diameter of a Frisbee. I have two containers I call smokestacked in their shape. The story, however, really goes back to October. Prince Tut and the dwarf exquisite Queen Tut papyrus grasses have put the proverbial ta-da in The Garden Guy’s containers this year.
