Containers that Delight

It ’s hard to contain our excitement for Cherry Ong ’s container – lovely , just lovely !

" We ’re all hold back for our current container to grow in but before set out out this year ’s batch , I judge to take clip out to review last year ’s container to see out what work and what did n’t . Everyone ’s amaze their favorites and succulents seem to be in the premix more and more . This yr , I ’ve tried to let in edibles in the mix and also match up intemperately edgy succulent with soft leafy perennial and floriferous annuals for a new expression . I am keeping my fingers crossbreed that they grow beautifully through the summer . Anyway , here are last year ’s offerings : "

These are mixed perennial and annual containers by our backdoor which receive partial shade. Begonias are always a summer container favorite in our garden.

Coming around the first photo, there is a boat of herbs and a container with sunny and bright Thuja Forever Goldie, a salmon colored begonia and blackie sweet potato vine.

On the other end of the backyard sits this large orange themed container with Corylus avellana Red Majestic, Sedona and Freckles Coleus, Bergenia, Coprosma, Heuchera and 2 kinds of Calibrachoa. She turned out much more than what I had planned for which was the nicest surprise ever.

This is the side of the same container in the previous photo.

No garden is complete without Cotinus and here she is married with Dusty Miller, Glennis coleus, Carex oshimensis Everillo and Lemon Slice Superbells.

One of my few succulent pedestal containers with Agave Frosty Blue and a variety of echeverias, crassulae and sedum. The driftwood was a local beach find.

A second succulent bowl filled with various succulents, Blue chalk sticks, Ogon sedum and sea shells (which were covered up as the succulents grew through the season).

Our sun loving all annuals hanging basket filled with varying shades of purple and green. This was quite a memorable one as we had our very first hummer sighting on this basket last year.

One of our shade loving hanging baskets with an all-time favorite spiller Frosty Knight Allysum. Tuberous begonia, Lemon licorice, Polka dot plant and Lysimachia punctata ‘Alexander’ fill the crown.
