Container gardening is one of my favorite things when it
comes to my gardens – especially on my front porch, where I have an awesome
corner plant stand that fills in with lots of color. My favorite plants to use
in containers are coleus, to which I add petunias, calibrachoas and exotic
impatiens.
Garden experts always talk about “thrillers, fillers and
spillers” when it comes to container plantings. I don’t always subscribe to
that theory – I just like mixing flowers up and seeing what happens throughout
the summer.
One of my go-to combinations for the last couple of years is
Wizard Coral Sunrise Coleus with Fusion Peach Frost Exotic Impatiens – I used
this on a few containers this year.
I’m always amazed at how “drapey” a Trailing Coleus like
Chocolate Drop can get, easily filling out a shady area almost by itself.
This little cutie is part of the Proven Winners collection I
received earlier this year – I just love the look of the Lemon Coral Sedum in
this little faux-rock planter.
