It's planted with calendulas, big marigolds, and blue salvia.
There is a morning glory vine in the front that came back from last year and I put some small dahlias in it, but I don't think they survived.
It's beginning to fill in nicely, but I need something to soften the angular sides.
I am tempted to dig out the scaevola 'Whirlwind Blue' from this planter.
I almost dug it out last night, but decided I liked it there.
I am pretty sure I won't have such self control when I get home work today.
Hi Zoey, Your flowers are beautiful. I've been following you for about 3 years I found you before blog days lol. when you were just the rockwall border(or something like that) you gave me a lot of inspiration. Just wanted to thank you. Pat

Great sled planter I have so lazy the last two summers I have not done any planters.
ReplyDeleteHow about planting Baccopa to soften the edges of your sleigh planter? I like the way the baccopa spills out downwards from a planter...just a suggestion:-) I've never heard of "Whirlwind Blue" before...is that the tree like plant in the middle of your pot? It is so unusual!! Happy 4th of July!!
ReplyDeletePat,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you finally said hello after 3 years! I feel so good that I have inspired you in your gardening. I hope you will keep visiting and please feel free to comment whenever you have something to say.
CG,
There's still time to do one. :)
For me the planters are the most fun.
Tammy,
Hope you are both having a great holiday.
Pea,
Bacopa is a wonderful idea. I have it in at least 9 planters already. I like it so much in them that I don't want to dig it out. The 'whirlwind blue' is the small purplish-blue plant under the big hibiscus tree. I've already dug it out and will post some pics later.
