In a container that measures 21-22 across the top tapers down some and is around 18 inches tall. I would think they hold 10 gallons or better. Plastic ones sold at the dollar general and lowes. I usually just plant one per pot. The weather turned for the worst and they grew like crazy inside now 27 inches tall. I can plant them on Saturday. I just have 18 plants and I can only give a few away.
If not I will have to compost the plants

For planting in the ground, planting horizontal like that is a good idea, since in cold winter areas, the deeper down you dig, the colder the soil likely is, in spring. Planting horizontal keeps the buried stem in the surface soil that is already warmed. But river was talking about planting in containers.
