Seasonal updates to create a spectacular garden container

Spring Container Design

Colourful lamps sing the season

The shimmering, wavy leaves of Japanese Umbrella Pine complement the variegated gray-green and white of Euphorbia ‘Silver Swan’ and Feather Falls™ Sedge. Wavy sedge foliage hugs the highest of the container and echoes the daring horizontal strains that run by way of the vase, which is softened by a mound of watercress. The sapphire blue blooms of lithodora ‘Grace Ward’ add a splash of springtime coloration and distinction with the geum ‘Fireball’ and the ethereal blooms of heuchera Endlessly® Purple. To sign that spring is coming, a daffodil and a tulip are proper within the heart of the window.

Summer time container replace

With heat climate come daring main colours

Somewhat modifying is all this container must get into summer season with contemporary blooms. By now, Feather Falls™ sedge is cascading down the aspect of the container, complemented by a protracted silver dichondra. Vibrantly coloured blooms from annuals like summer season snapdragon Angelface® Tremendous Blue and creeping zinnia Sunbini® distinction with the daring foliage of purple Magilla® perilla.

To fall

Cool purples make an understated but elegant show.

By gently eradicating many of the annuals and including a number of perennials which might be flowering or sporting true fall coloration, this container extends into cool climate. The tall, burgundy autumn foliage of the ‘Storm Cloud’ blue star hides gaps on the base of the Japanese Umbrella Pine. Its colours mix with the single-top pink flowers of the Japanese anemone ‘September Attraction’. The elegant orchid-like lavender flowers and delicate foliage of the ‘Tojen’ frog lily cascade over a deeply coloured Endlessly® Purple heuchera.
