A new favorite including annuals and perennials. This one lives with Michele.
Container gardens are like any other living garden, they grow and change and flourish and fade. I try to design them so that there's a continuum of life from summer through fall, but they will only be perfect for so long before they need some TLC.
When the annuals start to fade in the hot weather of the July summer, it's easy to replace them with new mums and fall blooming plants. The grass and sedum (bottom left, florets of purplish green) should keep going into the fall. The Red Husker penstemon can be planted in a regular flower bed, once its blooms are all spent. Yes, your container garden does more than look pretty.
