Container Gardening by Daniel Haran -
Container gardens can create a natural
sanctuary in a busy city street, along rooftops or on balconies. You can easily
accentuate the welcoming look of a deck or patio with colorful pots of annuals,
or fill your window boxes with beautiful shrub roses or any number of small
perennials. Whether you arrange your pots in a group for a massed effect or
highlight a smaller space with a single specimen, you'll be delighted with this
simple way to create a garden.
Container gardening enables you to easily
vary your color scheme, and as each plant finishes flowering, it can be replaced
with another. Whether you choose to harmonize or contrast your colors, make sure
there is variety in the height of each plant. Think also of the shape and
texture of the leaves. Tall strap-like leaves will give a good vertical
background to low-growing, wide-leafed plants. Choose plants with a long
flowering season, or have others of a different type ready to replace them as
they finish blooming Isabel Marant

Experiment with creative containers. You might have an old
porcelain bowl or copper urn you can use, or perhaps you'd rather make something
really modern with timber or tiles. If you decide to buy your containers
ready-made, terracotta pots look wonderful, but tend to absorb water. You don't
want your plants to dry out, so paint the interior of these pots with a special
sealer available from hardware stores.
Cheaper plastic pots can also be
painted on the outside with water-based paints for good effect. When purchasing
pots, don't forget to buy matching saucers to catch the drips. This will save
cement floors getting stained, or timber floors rotting.
Always use a
good quality potting mix in your containers. This will ensure the best
performance possible from your plants.
If you have steps leading up to
your front door, an attractive pot plant on each one will delight your visitors

welcoming atmosphere.
Decide ahead of time where you want your pots to
be positioned, and then buy plants that suit the situation. There is no point
buying sun lovers for a shady position, for they will not do well. Some plants
also have really large roots, so they are best kept for the open garden.
If you have plenty of space at your front door, a group of potted plants
off to one side will be more visually appealing than two similar plants placed
each side. Unless they are spectacular, they will look rather boring. Group the
pots in odd numbers rather than even, and vary the height and type. To tie the
group together, add large rocks that are similar in appearance and just slightly
different in size. Three or five pots of the same type and color, but in
different sizes also look affective.
With a creative mind and some
determination, you will soon have a container garden that will be the envy of
friends and strangers alike.More information, please visit:http://www.bycegroup.com/product/20132014Xmas-Isabel-Marant-Basley-Suede-Tassel-Concealed-Wedge-Bootie-In-Gris.html
