Beauty in Bloom
Tulips(郁金香), daffodils(水仙), and hyacinths( 风信子)are bellwethers of spring. In this simple ceramic bucket, a skirt of light pink Diascia surrounds a clump of magenta tulips. Prolong the life of your plantings by purchasing plants with tightly closed buds. The buds will open in a few days and color your container for two or more weeks.
In Love with Pinks
Two petite galvanized buckets connected by a crosspiece and simple handle are the perfect planting place for perennial Dianthus(康乃馨), or pinks. Spur Dianthus to send up a second flush of blooms by shearing off spent flowers. The plants will bloom well into summer when grown in part shade to full sun and watered regularly.
Sitting Pretty
A painted wooden garden trug turns into a focal point with annual Dianthus(康乃馨)and trailing Dichondra (马蹄金-俗称马蹄草,又叫黄胆草、九连环、金钱草)to create an abundant and informal look. (Tip: Line the bottom of the container with heavy plastic, or set pots into plastic water trays.)
Scent of Spring
Sweetly perfumed stock revels in cool conditions. The handles on a loosely woven basket make it easy to hang this fragrant treasure where you are likely to walk by and enjoy the scent. An excellent cutting flower, stock is available in shades of white, pink, purple, red, yellow, and orange.
Cradle Color
Plum-and-white Regal geraniums (天竺葵Pelargonium spp.) are tucked in by cheery deep pink pansies (三色紫罗兰Viola x wittrockiana) in a doll-size planter. A coat of exterior wood sealant protects the cradle from moisture. For long-lasting plantings, drill drainage holes in watertight containers. If that isn\'t possible, water only to lightly moisten the soil and let the potting soil dry slightly between waterings.
Long-Lasting Fancy
Delicate white heart-shape flowers float among the foliage of perennial bleeding heart (荷包牡丹Dicentra spectabilis f. alba) while the annual cascading Diascia (双距花)completes the floral pairing in this old toolbox. Perennials spring to life as container plants. After enjoying their flowers, transplant them into the garden to become a permanent part of your landscape.
Sweet Perfume
In your local garden centers, look for prechilled bulbs already potted and growing. Here, hyacinth(风信子 ) bulbs fill the air with sweet perfume.
Tightly Planted
When repotting sprouted bulbs, such as white Muscari(葡萄风信子), tightly arrange them for the best effect.
