I do a lot of flower planting in planters. My logic is they don't get weeds!
I'm starting on the deck. I potted this planter using two perennials- an iris plant and a heuchera (coral bells) along with a mix of yellow and orange flowers.
This planter is still coming along- the petunias are just starting to spread and should look very pretty once it's really filled out.
This is a "King Tut" grass with some sweet potato vine. It will get a lot taller and wider as time goes by. They need to be kept moist.
I got this obelisk stand 20 years ago. It's had some gazing balls and various different plants staged on it over the years but for some time it was in the storage not being used. I pulled it out last year and it got a fresh paint job and now it's a feature piece. I found the glass orb hanging piece at a garden center and it ended up working well to suspend from the top.
Several of my planters got a paint job this spring. I went with white after having mostly black and it's nice for a change. These look like heavy iron planters but they're a lightweight composite material.
I put white wax begonias in a circle around this purple fountain grass. It's the first time I've ever made up this combo so we'll see how it goes!
I love all the different types of salvia and verbena choices there are these days. There is also a double flowering white bacopa that's on the other side. I like how this looks old fashioned. I plant things that hummingbirds and butterflies like!
Here is a view of the planters I have along this deck railing area. I can view this from our kitchen dining area and my mind is always plotting up new ideas from there!
I spoke about this trellis last week and how it was pulled out of storage and put back in circulation.
I have lots and lots of hostas which do very well for me.
I enjoy garden art- whimsical things. This little pig spins in the wind!
I'm fond of pigs with wings
This is a garden art pole my husband gave me at Christmas which is a triangular bed between the house and back patio area. Each side of the art pole has different words and art work.
These hostas are still filling in. I have a lot of shade so they grow well for me.
This is another garden art piece- it teeter totters and swings around in the wind. There's a hummingbird on one end and a crystal ball at the other. I enjoy watching it!
I'll wrap this up here and will return with more garden posts soon!
Thank you for visiting and I look forward to everyone else's posts!
