Simple Rules for Stunning Flower Planters
There are three words you should keep in mind if you want to make your planters exciting for spring and summer: thrillers, fillers and spillers — according to Landscape Garden Center greenhouse team leader, Amanda Gimbel.
Spillers make planters more interesting, thrillers create drama and height in pots, and fillers give a bit of impact.
It is also important to get organized and make a plan before you go out shopping for your flowers. The colours you pick for your pots should be your favourites or something that matches your house. If you place solid coloured pots in front of your home, the eye will be drawn to your front door. But you can also use the same colour of flower in one pot but in different shades to add a bit of spice.
However, Gimbel says, “If you’ve got a tough spot and found a plant that works, you might want to stick with what works.”
Also, there is no need to over do it. If you restrain yourself you will actually end up making more stylish arrangements. A pot with only two varieties of flowers can be simply stunning.
