will they thrive better in the Sarasota, FL ground? Does your answer apply to all plants that one purchases in a hanging basket? My new babies and I thank you! Laurel Bean Nokomis, FL

You can grow your petunias in the original basket but they will grow better if you plant them in a very large planter so they have room to spread out and grow. Yes--most plants grow better if you take them out of their original baskets/pots and replant them--either in the ground or much larger pots.
