On Todays 5minute Friday, I am going to show you how to plant a mixed container.
We are going to plant up 2 varieties of ‘ready to flower in the spring’ hardy perennial plants. Firstly, an Erysimum, more commonly known as Wallflower, a hardy perennial, that will come back every year. Then we have 2 Aubreita, they are both Katie Red, so you will have a lovely display of reds and yellows.
Aubrieta – A real mainstay of UK Gardens.
Katie Red Shades has small wide mat forming, single vibrant shades of deep, wine, red flowers, with soft bright green foliage. Aubrieta is a trailing perennial perfect for a spring container, borders, courtyards, and gardens.
Erysimum – Brings burst of colour.
Commonly known as the Wallflower, they will bloom over a long period. It’s attractive to butterflies and has an upright compact habit. Rich bright, yellow blooms will bring pops of stunning colour to your containers.
