Hi Lyl,
The first step is to cut out a hole in the stump for your plants. Click below for an article that will take you though the complete process from bland stump to pretty flowered stump. Wishing you the best.

I leave mine in the pots all winter .when the frost gets them then cut off . Come spring they will come back .I have hostages summer pholx even did morning glory in a pot by mistake. .saved lol seeds put in pot thought they were impatient. . Had to put a trellis behind them .I planted English ivy around my stump. .the ivy grows fast . Good luck with your stump projects .
Thank you! I was'nt sure about leaving them in pots during winter,i guess if they come back while planted in ground they would do the same in pots. Your stump sounds beautiful,hope i can do as nice of a job,thank u again
Thank u again,i forgot to ask about drainage,now i know. We to had a problem with our pine trees about 3 yrs. Ago,so sad,still dont know what killed 2 fully grown beautiful trees. Didnt touch any of our blue sruce's thought and im thankful,i absolutly love trees,we have many on our property.thank you again
