Crazy me is not giving up on planting this year. These are going to customer sites over the next week.
I will work on stuff at the house after that ( likely Memorial Day weekend )
For those that saw them on Instagram and wondered what plants were what..
I like to have a couple of bigger plants that are "thrillers" and then "spillers" which will trail over the sides.
 |
| King tut grass that is the "Center" tall item of the pots. The tag below is hard to see, so extra picture of them in the pot. |
 |
| I'm not normally a geranium girl, but hubs convinced me they looked pretty. |
 |
| Also known in some parts as million bells |
 |
| Another new plant for me. They are mostly green now, and waiting for them to pop with color. |
 |
| I've used this before. Looks a lot like Perennial Sedum, with pretty little flowers |
 |
| this will grow and add a nice silvery color to the pots. |
 |
| as long as no deer around, these will flourish in the pots. |
 |
the final product.
I always top off my pots with a fresh 2-3" of a moisture control -soil. It helps keep them fresh, if they don't get watered every day. I like to take it to the top of the pots so the trailing stuff doesn't have to "jump" over a big lip.
These pots are about 2 1/2 feet wide.
Next week I'll show you some much larger pots that I do.. |
I look forward to seeing all the pots throughout the summer. You make me want to be a better flower bed owner.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't like geraniums either, but those are great! The are perfect combined with all the rest, especially the million bells. You created a beautiful pot! I threw some pansies in a couple of our pots in early spring and they are still going strong. Not sure if or when I will replace them. Thrillers and spillers - love that!
