I don't have a garden so an outdoor container brought in for winter is my only option for Golden Barrel. It absolutely works — with the right attention to protecting from frost below -5°C even for hardy varieties you can get excellent results in containers.

architectural sculptural form that needs no flowers to impress is fully achievable even in a pot. flowering in late spring to early summer is just as impressive in a container as it would be in the ground, possibly more so because the plant is at closer viewing distance. The main issue to watch in containers: slow growth frustration for impatient growers. Happens faster than in the ground. Highly recommend for balcony and patio gardeners.
