Does it work to grow flowers in half-barrels or tubs?

I always wanted to have a flower garden, but because of the location of our house, I can't plant a real garden. I saw these large tub like things at the Home Depot in the gardening section... do these works good for growing flowers? If so, what kinds of flowers? Any special instructions?

Thanks for any help you can give. :)

Yes, you can make a beautiful pot out of these. A secret is to select some base plants (usually greenery) and stick colorful potted plants amoung them. You can hide the pots with a spagnum moss. You can change out the colors with the seasons. Annuals are not that expensive.

ps: I forgot----you must have drainage. Drill a few holes in the bottom before planting.
