Best Bets Create a container garden that will make your veggie garden jealous 
The innovator who first planted geranium and variegated ivy together for a cheery summertime display hit on a terrific combination. So terrific, in fact, that the predictable pairing has become nearly synonymous with container gardening. But that isn't the only winning combination. "There are so many other choices," says Nancy Clifton, horticultural specialist as the Chicago Botanic Garden. "The only limit is the gardener's imagination and daring." The guidelines are simple. When selecting plants, take into consideration your site (sunny or shady); remember to balance your floral equation with upright plants and trailing plants, or bushy plants and more structured plants; for the best effect, combine plants with different textures. Clifton suggests visiting a local garden center: "Pick one plant you love, and start from there." Below are 10 of Clifton's own tried-and-true recipes for dramatic container gardens. You�ll even find geraniums and ivy – just not in the same container, Clifton says. 1. Spring Fancy: Plant your favorite shade of pansy with Shasta daisies and a variegated ivy. 2. Yellow Zinger: Combine a sunny yellow petunia hybrid with an African marigold (Tagetes Erecta) and a cascading green vine with gold flowers (Monopsis Lutea). Add texture with a bi-colored petunia. 3. Summertime Blues: Start with Helichrysum Petiolare, a popular cascading plant with silver foliage, then add an upright dusty miller with fuzzy white foliage (Senecio Maritima v. silver dust). For a shot of blue, pick from these splashy favorites: larkspur, a florist hydrangea, delphinium, ageratum. 4. Hot, Hot, Hot: Combine cosmos (Sunny Gold) with the chartreuse cascading Moneywort (Lysimachia Numularia v. Aurea), a burgundy coleus and Japanese Blood Grass, for texture. 5. Just the One: Plant just one type of flower in a container for a dramatic display. Clifton suggests New Guinea Impatiens, Canna or an unusual variety of old standbys such as petunia or snapdragon . 6. Geranium, No Ivy: Combine an unusual variety of geranium with blood leaf (Iresine Lindenii), a small-leaf plant with intense yellow or red foliage. 7. Hot Shot: Combine a yellow/orange Lantana with blood leaf and a variegated geranium. 8. All-White: Mix the gray foliage plant Helichrysum Petiolare with a white Lobelia and a white cosmos, Alyssum or white marigold. 9. Bright Spot: Combine the bushy Euphorbia, with its greenish/yellowish flower heads, with a burgundy snapdragon. 10. Superb Herbs: Fill the pockets of a strawberry jar with your favorite herbs. Consider thyme, oregano, basil, chives, parsley (flat and curly), rosemary. |
