Every gardener has a big yard to dig into. So in tonight’s grow with care, Laura and Bobby are showing us the best perennials for containers. Well, we’re here at Donahue’s and we’re gonna talk about one of my favorite things is using perennials in your container gardening. It doesn’t just have to be annuals. Did you ever think of lavender aromatic. Foliage and spikes of purple flowers make it a fragrant choice for containers. It thrives in well drained soil and full sun. Coral bells are great, both because they have striking foliage in a range of colors, and they stay very compact and maintain their vibrancy throughout the season. Try creeping Jenny. This low growing perennial creates a cascading effect with its bright yellow green leaves, making it a perfect softening of the edges of the pot. Of course everyone has pots of geraniums, but instead of the annual variety, how about a perennial geranium? It has a trailing habit that spills over the edge of the container, making them look more full. If you’ve got a shady area, you can’t beat a still bee. With their feathery plumes of flowers, the ties add height and texture to a container garden. They prefer part shade and consistent moisture, making them a great choice for your shaded patio. Now providing color late into the season is always a challenge, but Japanese anemone can fill that hole for you, those delicate little wild flower-like blooms well suited to pots and give you flowers all the way into autumn. And the main reason I like using perennials and containers is one, you can take them out and plant them, or you can take the whole container, put it somewhere where it’s protected — and grow it back next
— year. We’ll have a list of all our ideas here plus a few more on Cara1n.com.
