Before and after photos of some recently planted pots. Client requested new designs for 6+ large outdoor containers in three locations for a fall party. At this time of year, plant choices are slim to none at the nurseries so an extra jolt of creativity is in order. We wanted the designs to transition well through the holiday season. Client loved them.
1) Green Spire Euonymus (Euonymus japonicus) for height, sedge (Carex morrowii), and icicle pansies for the larger pots. Standing as sentries are an assortment of adorable, dwarf evergreens looking like perfect miniature sculptures. They were planted in stone and terra cotta pots and the soil topped with river rocks.

2) This porch pot below is viewed from the inside of the house through glass doors at the end of a long hallway. Impact was in order. For dramatic height, we planted a young pyramidal hornbeam (Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata') with leaves that will turn yellow-orange as it gets colder. At the base, pony tail grass (Stipa tenuissima) to the rear, with hardy red mums, and lavender thyme. A spray of red dogwood twigs adds a colorful spark that acts as an exclamation point to the entire arrangement.
