Some of my favorite containers this season!
I have a few new favorite containers this year I thought I'd share! The top is probably my #1 fave of the season! It is a combination of maidenhair fern, impatiens, coleus, juncus and WONDERFUL peacock moss!
The second picture has party time alternantheria mixed with fusion impatiens, hyemale grass and dragon wing begonias. The bottom hanging container has some ponytail grass, dragon wing begonias, impatiens, red cordyline and sweet potato vine. Enjoy!

Thanks, Judy! They are one of my favorites to grow as they tolerate sun and shade!

Thanks, Brenda! Dragon wings are one of my favorites as they do well in sun or shade. These containers are partial sun....but, I do have them in full shade as well!

i think i will steal the bottom hanger for spring 2011! very beautiful arrangements.
my SP vine is rusted this year because of the no sun and more rain...the neighbor has frosted tomato vines. luckly, our veggies must be warmer.

Kind of crazy, but when I first plant, which is the end of April first of May, I fertilize probably every other watering with Miracle Grow granules mixed with the water. I then back off to once a week until mid-June...and then it is when I remember!!!! :) Another thing I do is totally PACK my containers...survival of the fittest!!! They always seem to push up and fight for sun and fill out nicely! Thanks for asking and happy gardening to you!

Thanks for the compliments! If you look closely, I have some holes in my SP vine...potato beetles....I'm not very good about pest control. Oh well!!!

your flowers certainly love it! I admit I'm lax with the fertilizing but promise to do better! I also pack them in and start with Miracle Grow potting soil
