It's really flimsy and not worth buying, I sent it back. You should spend more & buy the Algreen 34002 Garden View, Vertical Living Wall Planter: http://www.amazon.com/Algreen-34002-Garden-Vertical-Planter/dp/B00BGRWS5G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396877749&sr=8-1&keywords=vertical+planter+wood I live about 3 miles from the beach in LA & bought the more more expensive Vertical Garden by Gronomics which works great, I have lettuce & herbs in it. It faces south and gets AM sun and I love it, just filled it with good soil, put in the plants & watered it and everything has done well. The botttom layers need less water then the top layers as it does absorb down.

Clematis are great on this arbor. I believe wisteria would be a little to heavy for this frame.

These plants are tiny and would probably be lost at a wedding. 4-6 inches tall. The other problem would be these would be in pots. I would suggest going to a garden center and see what they might have. Good Luck

The sun doesn't shine through .. I would recommend plants that do well in the shade for under the sail. I am not putting my sail up this year because it did not hang properly and sagged in the middle.

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

One plant works best. I did two small patio plants and that was still too much.

This planter is very attractive and could work the way you suggested. My installment is permanent because it really is too large to move around filled with material. I placed mine up on blocks to allow for drainage for live perennial plants.

Mine sits on cement as well. I put a decorative hexagon step stone (they're about 2 inches thick and about 12 inches across) on the corners then a nice planter on top of that. However, I live in Southern California so we don't get much wind here.

It came in 2 or 3 in pot I repotted it in a 6 or 7 inch pot I keep it on the front porch mine has had 2 blooms so far. Indoors I don't know it should with a sunny window.

All suggestions should work, more light the bigger or more plants. My on addition would be to try a 24 veg and 12 hour flower. I have not done it any other way, although I might try if you guys tell me I am wrong. LOL

Early morning sun or shady area. Mine is in partial shade. I depend on Missouri Botanical Garden for all garden advice via internet.

Oh yes...I don't have them on mine but these are beautiful enough to use in a sun room or a garden room that is protected from a lot of sun and/or rain. Since these are somewhat dark, kind of blackish, I could just see a cushion material with a black back ground and with pretty bright colored floral design. Good luck. Would love to see what you finally decide to use. Whatever you decide on I'm sure it will be very pretty.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

Yes, and attractive too. I have tomatoes growing in it this year, but it would work well for flowering vines as well.
