My mom did this for years! we still have a pair of my 25 year old nephew's baby shoes. When my mom and dad passed away. I kept a couple pair of their shoes for planters too. I had to remove the hens and chicks for the winter season.

So many in the shoes bloomed, that they had really died back (the flower dies after it blooms). I literally had 10 or more blooms this year.
