I save these when my mother buys her spring plants so I can use them to grow my starter sunflowers. But she keeps throwing them out, thinking she'll be buying more "next spring". But by the time shes doing her gardens, it's way too late to start sunflowers if you want them to grow big!

I have this one but I want one more so I can do up to 20 large sunflowers next year. Now that I know the Irish Spring trick actually works, I really want to go nuts with them :D

(that initial description sounds weird. I start my sunflowers at her house because its easier to keep them watered and in the sun and more importantly, up away from the rabbits while they're growing. Then once they are big enough, I drive them over to my house and plant them. Thats why shes able to throw them away, I leave the stuff in her shed. But shes in her own world and doesn't listen :p )

Ive seen the box stores throw them away. Maybe ask for one or just check their dumpster.

Just type "seedling plant holders" in the Amazon search function....and you will see hundreds of choices.

Just looks like your average flower pots you buy plants in or herbs. If this is the size you want and measure the diameter and height and do an Amazon search as suggested or visit you local plant centre.
