Nanajan on Apr 16, 2015Not sure what foxtrot is however I use four flower towers and I love them. Impatiens are the best FT growers. I have tried many plants and the shorter sturdy plants fill in the best. Also fantastic for strawberries.. Ageratum. mimulus and nemesia also do wonderfully well. I set them in large pots and also plant around the bottom.Helpful Reply

Sherri Taylor on Apr 17, 2015I doubt if they will survive winter unless they are in the ground, if you get much freezing weather. How often does it get that cold? They don't freeze in the ground because the roots are protected. They wouldn't be above ground.Helpful Reply

Mary K on Apr 17, 2015Creeping phlox is hardy here in New England, where the frost line is around 42". I think this would be worth a try in Alabama.Helpful Reply
