Flowers for Rain Barrel Pot

9 years ago

I have a rain barrel that is about 4 feet tall and it has a sunken in top that is made for planting flowers. It is about 18 inches X 16 Inches X 5 inches deep. I want to plant a pretty flower that will bloom for a long period and cascade a little down the side of the rain barrel. It is in a partially shaded area. Any suggestions?
