Achieve 3 Bold and Bright One-Pot Wonder Designs Using these Plants

Looking to cut down on some garden work this summer but still have a knockout display? We love creating containers filled with a mix of this and that. However, we also love putting one power plant in a large pot and calling it a day. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

This combo (above) of Whetman Star™ Single Superstar Dianthus and a magenta verbena is all about fragrance!

EnduraScapeâ„¢ Verbena

Color Splash

EnduraScape™ Verbena is an improved variety that loves heat, has excellent resistance to powdery mildew, and stays in flower longer. This variety’s trailing habit also shines in a hanging planter. Zone: 7 -10

Colorita® Isabella® Peruvian Lily

Near Constant Blooms

From a outstanding new series of this free-flowering and heat-loving plant comes Colorita® Isabella® Peruvian Lily. The brilliant-orange blooms will keep coming if old stems are plucked! Zone: 8 – 11

Purple Potionâ„¢ Trailing Lantana

Bring on the Butterflies

Waterwise and loved by pollinators, use lantana in tough full sun spots. Purple Potion™ Trailing Lantana is evergreen in frost-free climates and an annual for cold climate areas. Zone: 9 – 11

Hot Color That Holds Up to Heat

Hot Color That Holds Up to Heat

In those super-sunny, sweltering spots you need plants that can not only deal, but delight. Places such as facing south settings, in the reflected heat from pools or hardscape, or on a roof gardens.

These plants do that: CANNOVA® Orange Shades Canna Lily, Endurascape™ Dark Purple Verbena, and Sienna Sunrise® Heavenly Bamboo. Plus they have a variety of textures and forms that makes for an interesting vignette.

I look forward to each newsletter. They contain so much information and I'm so glad that you included the proper pronunciation of the difficult botanical names. The pictures are extraordinary and the accompanying information relative to a particular plant is great. Also appreciate rating as to deer resistance. Glad you're there!

I scored first time I started searching, found what I was looking for in areas they will be planted as long as I can get the plants, for my boxed patio planters and single pots on my patio
