We were really happy with the container from the test garden above — it looked spectacular all season. Here's how we took care of it:
Care tips
- Use soilless potting mix, not garden soil in the container.
- Water when you insert your finger into the potting mix up to the knuckle and it's dry.
- Feed monthly with a water-soluble plant food at full strength.
- Give it afternoon shade to help flowers last longer.
- Don't worry about deadheading any of these plants.
