I love adding color around our yard with potted plants. Because I'm on a tight gardening budget I have to get creative with what I have.
I have a nice window box on my deck railing (that I put a faux rust finish on) that I needed to fill.
I added Stella D'oro daylillies to the box to add height. They are usually planted directly in the garden but I like to use them in containers too. They'll bloom all Summer and eventually spread so much I'll have to divide them. No problem; that means more plants for me.
I filled this very large pot with a an ornamental grass I found growing in our side yard. I wasn't sure what it would do or how large it would grow, but hey, I didn't have anything to lose.
Do you pot up any plants that are usually found in the garden? Let me know!
Happy Gardening!
A garden is waaay to overwhelming for me (and I normally kill everything LOL) so everything goes in pots over here! It's more manageable for me.
ReplyDeleteI actually only just started doing that this year though so the only thing I have in pots are tomatoes and strawberries. I'm hoping that by next year I can have an entire potted garden! LOL
