Seedsmen and nurserymen have been busy growing seeds and planting containers with a patriotic theme, for use on patios, porches and cemetery plots, reflecting the upcoming Memorial Day holiday.
There are many choices of plants, of all sizes and colors, for use in planting containers, if that is what you like to do. Most greenhouses will do custom planting for you with your plant selections. There is a plethora of pre-planted containers ready for purchase, for $10 and up, depending on the size of container and amount of plant material used.
