So I've been a grower commercially for the last 4 years, and I always love input on what home gardener like best for color combos. Your input is wildly helpful because of you didn't know, for those of us who grow we have to choose all the plants for our spring flowers 9-10 months in advance. (I start growing in February for May sales and I have to order in July for the following year)
Thanks for your input. It means so much!!

Just want to mention these are not glamor shots…it was fast pictures at not the best angle. They are much more consistent in person.

I do planters with similar colours
#1
2nd one something just looks so good about it
3 and 4.
4 has a pleasant bold multi colour allure.
And 3 is purple, the colour of royalty.
2 and 7
1. The colors are incredibly soothing and I feel like purple and orange aren’t often paired together.
4. Really love that vibe
7. I don’t like red with yellow … to me it’s so jarring. I prefer pastel combinations during spring.
Can you also tell me is it even possible to do this with plants or only with seeds? How often do they need to be fertilized too. Thanks
All of them! Calibrochoa is my favorite flower!
4, nice combo of colors that is a bit bold
1 and 7
2 & 3.
I love the baskets with the mixed colors but they’re just a bit too busy.
7 is also gorgeous
1 and 7
I just got myself some orange and reds of these to combine. I’m a hater of pinks and purples so if I had chose a 3rd color it would have been white or yellow.
These look nice but I had this same issue at the greenhouses recently, there is always a pink or a purple ruining it for me. I’m probably not a normal person tho lol

1, 5, and 7!

#1 is my favorite because I don’t see that color combo very often 😍, then #3 because pink/purple is just timeless! All of the baskets are beautiful though!
2 – 1 – 6 – 4.
In that order
4 for me!
I love all, apart from the yellow one (2) and the red (4). A little yellow is okay. I’m not a huge fan of yellow and red flowers. My garden has all kinds of blue, purple, pink, a bit of white, the tiniest bit of yellow. The only true exception to the no-yellow in my garden are narcissus. I LOVE those.
3, 4, and 7
I think you have something for everyone!
7 the pink doubles are gorgeous. I love 1 & 3 too but they’re all beautiful 🤩
4, it’s the best but I also really like 3

3 and 5 for me. I like the yellow popping out.
But obviously they are all gorgeous
2&3
1 and 3 I think are my favorite. But I like all of them, they are so big and lush and beautiful.
I don’t like any of the ones that contain white, too busy and discordant. to me white looks good with blue, or deep purple, or cool pastel colors. white with that vibrant yellow in 5 and the white with warm pink in 6 looks bad to me. the white and pink bicolor in 7 is the only one where I like the white. don’t love slide 4 for similar reasons, the muted orange is missing the mark for me with the deep purple and red. its like the orange almost looks good there, but falls short. however, the muted peachy orange looks wonderful in slide 1 with that muted purple, and the deep purple in slide 3 looks wonderful with the deep pink.
1 is my favorite. then 2, 7, 3
3,4,or 7
1 & 7

3, 4 and 5.

1, 3 and 4
Def 1!
1 or 3
I think 1 & 4. I’m a grower too but I do mostly vegetable and herb starts.
It’s always hard to guess what people will want, isn’t it? They all look really nice.
Three and four are mu favorite.

3. But I loveeeee darker colored flowers personally. The pink and purple together is just like 🤤
Picture 4
I like the darker colors for shadier spots and lighter colors in the brighter spots

1 & 3!!
Edit: The doubles are pretty cool 😎 also
#3, fuchsia & purple.
