A planter, a decorative container all winter long, is best planted now, in September/October.
Pansies, cornuta, C anto® cyclamen and primroses are excellent for providing flowers... but it can become boring and flat month after month and year after year. Plus, these species don't dress up their containers!
You will find in your usual garden center evergreen plants proposed in 10 cm pots. These products are very interesting to compose your planter, to dress the front and to serve as a case and/or protection for flowering plants...
- A blue grass (Fescue or Koleria) to sit an orange cornuta or a Canto® cyclamen.
- A copper grass (Carex) to present a pansy or a pure blue cornuta.
- The silver and curry-scented Helichrysum italicum highlights, in particular, scarlet reds, but also all other bright colors.
- The various ornamental thymes, golden, variegated or silver, will dress up the front of the planter or container with a high density of foliage and form a cushion like a display for the flowering plant that will be placed in the background.
- It is the same with Ajuga, a little more vigorous or Lamium and Lysimachia numularia, whose vigor allows to go down to the bottom of the planter.
The variegated Vinca (periwinkle), the ivy and also the Lysimachia numularia, form long branches that give volume and movement to the whole composition.
