Choose great containers:
Containers come in a vast array of shapes, sizes, colors and styles. Pots have their own character and are important elements in good garden design. A great container will make a statement even without any plants added.
View containers as works of art (focal points) and invest in the best containers you can afford. They will reward you for years to come! Choose formal urns for a formal garden and colorful ceramic for a more informal space.
Vary the heights:
Pots add interest when they are seen at various heights, not just on the ground.
Repeat the design:
Repetition is an important design principle used to bring the garden together as one composition. It helps those viewing your garden to easily navigate the space from one area to the next. Portable potscapes allow we to connect all our garden.
Select plants with multiple purposes:
Expert said use a mix of annuals, perennials, herbs/edibles, shrubs and even small trees in your containers in the color combination you have chosen.
Take care a potscapes:
Before planting, determine where our containers will go. Notice the amount of sun or shade. The light exposure will determine what plants you select for thecontainers.
Make sure use a good container mix or “soilless mix” in . Lothe potsok for mixes that contain slow release fertilizer and water-retaining crystals for easier maintenance. Do not use heavy garden soil.
Water well and do not let the containers ever completely dry out in the hot sun.
For continual blooms, use a water soluble fertilizer every ten days to two weeks and deadhead (remove) dying blooms to encourage new growth.
