Sorry I jumped the gun on the count.

Will all of the dwarf plants work well in a container?

Thanks for doing the count. Most helpful! It may be a bit skewed, because not so many of us have tried some of the amazing newer varieties.

The whole point of the dwarfs is that they can be grown in the ground or in 5 gallon containers . Isn't it great?

I'm have Tastywine, Orange Cream and Maralinga started for this year along with some favs, Sweet Scarlet, Summertime Gold and Wild Fred. Guess I better start some Tasmanian Chocolate based on how much everyone likes it!

I am also wondering which of the dwarfs are taller and may benefit from being grown in say a 7 gallon? My focus is on dwarf varieties this year. I have 5 gallon and 7 gallon grow bags.

No problem! You save me the trouble!

Would still like people's opinions, anyone else who hasn't weighed in yet.

Tied for first and 2nd were Golden Gypsy and Blazing Beauty. Tastywine was 4th.

So both of those are real winners! Sweet Scarlet was mentioned as being top rate too.

Drew51---Thanks for your comment and input. Now I'm happy with my two choices for my first Dwarfs. Looking forward to see how they do in grow bags.

Summertime Gold is on my 2017 list. Maybe Tasmania is another.
I like to choose based on broad peer reviews. That is a better bet for me.

Me too, and yes, it was outstanding. Doesn't surprise me that it's sold out. Hopefully those of you looking for seeds fine someone who bought more than they need.
