I use them for impatiens and lobelia mostly. I would love to use them with sun loving plants but in my climate I would probably be watering them 3x a day. So I stick to the shade lovers. They are gorgeous when they fill out.

Be sure to use a fair amount of the water crystals and time release fertilizer when you fill the bags. It is easier to get small plugs with small root systems through the openings in the bags. Put a plant or two in the top too. After planting lay them flat for a week or two until the plants get established - otherwise the ones toward the bottom get their roots squished from the weight of the soil above. You could also let them lie flat until they fill out more before hanging them so they don't look like bags of trash, to quote beaker_ch. LOL
