Welcome, gardeners! Today I’m planting up three stock tanks using the exact same Proven Winners annual combination, but trying something a little different by changing the placement in each container to see how it affects the overall look. This mix of gomphrena, supertunias, evolvulus, and lemon coral sedum creates beautiful color and texture, and it was so fun to see how simple design choices can completely change the feel of a planting 🌸 Enjoy!

Janey – you are a star – you work so hard to come up with original ideas that inspire – I love it. They all look great but I am kinda loving the asymmetrical one.
Absolutely love this idea! Gardening is all about changing things up and experimenting, especially in containers! I think if you had 3 gardeners, 3 stock tanks and all the same plants, you would see similar results planted up as that's what makes gardening such an art as everyone's personality comes out and there's no wrong way! Can't wait to see them grow! Ask again in a few months which one is your favorite, it'll be fun seeing the results!
Hi Janie, I love all three, your idea was awesome 👏👏👏
From a distance, the chartreuse LCS growing in front of/ contrasted with/ against the black fence ties all three tanks together. Thanks for the inspiration. If you were to design all three from even further away, what would you like to see across the full width? From which vantage points is the group seen? Then the closeup detail plants will sort themselves into place initially by color and height, probably. How about an experiment planting something tall and amazingly photogenic, like hollyhock! we shall enjoy whatever you decide to do. Hidden fairy gardens? 😊
I love all of them. I use sedum ground cover as my spiller in most of my pots. It is an evergreen. I love it. Zone 7.
Brilliant idea 🎉 I love them all. Can't wait to see the finished look.
I love the one on the far right the best, where they're all grouped together; they'll all be gorgeous though, flowers just do their thing so well no matter where they land haha 🙂
Consider variegated Dianella in the stock tanks next year. Taller and sword shaped leaves, white edged will be gorgeous against the fence.
I love your plant choices for these troughs! I maybe like the thriller, filler, spiller idea of the first one but that is just my opinion only. Your channel is probably my favorite though I am in a very different zone than you. I live in Virginia in zone 6b.
Great idea, excited to watch these grow!
I think the lavender petunia will glow in the transition into evening. I have lavender impatiens every year and it really stands out as the sun is going down and into the evening.
Looking forward to April Garden tour, the blooms especially the geraniums in the planters ❤️❤️
Love lemon coral sedum even in a pot by itself , when fully grown it’s beautiful
I like all of them , can’t wait to see them all bloom.
💜💜💜💜
The evolvulus is not as vigorous as the other plants in the recipe.
❤
This will be great to watch the different development. I just know for me it would drive me crazy to have them all different, I would automatically have the two outside planters done the same as you did the one on the left. But, great experiment! Zone 3 Manitoba 🇨🇦💪❤️
Good idea! Looking forward to seeing their growth.
❤
So far I like number 3!!!
I think the natural way is more nice
What if you covered the concrete there with small rocks like you bordered your beds with? That might cover up the water and discoloured concrete so you wouldn’t even notice it. Just a thought. Everything looks beautiful ❤❤❤
Great idea. Can’t wait to watch them grow.
Great idea!!! You do you!! And you don’t know what will happen until you do it!! It’s all about learning what works and what doesn’t!!! Can’t wait to see what it looks like!!!
I love all three but the center one is my favorite right now. May change my mind after the fill in.
