I'm a big fan of container gardening and fill a dozen or so containers with perennial and annual flowers, tall grasses, hostas or anything I find interesting. My all time favorite is silverberry petunias. I love the soft pink color of them and how beautiful they trail.
Take a look...
My fave...silverberry petunias
I plant these in flower boxes on our deck(they also attract hummingbirds and sometimes I'm lucky enough to have them fly right up to me ~ makes me smile!)
I really love pink flowers and like to plant various shades of pink
some pretty rockfoil I planted in a vintage crock ~
I also did a border with these in our front yard
Hens and chicks along with sweet pale pink creeping phlox and some river rocks and a trellis.
I like adding ornamental objects to my containers ~ gives it some dimension and makes them a little more interesting!
sweet lamb's ear ~ delightful!
a bird bath with another container of silverberry petunias and some variegated hostas
did I mention that I love silverberry petunias?
here with some tall grass and a rustic bird house
(I just planted this, but should reach around 2 feet tall when mature)
The nice thing about container gardening is that you can change it every year
and move the containers around if you want to.
Happy weekend!
