Basket Column Kit for Large Pots
I love red flowers. I've used a lot of red in my landscape. I think it adds a bit of drama and certainly is an eye catcher!. I used purple and red Salvia, Big Red Green Leaf Wax Begonias, Main Street Beale Street and Color Blaze Mini Me Watermelon Coleus "

Basket Column Kit for Large Pots
This was my first attempt with the Pamela Crawford Basket Column Kit for Large Pots and needless to say I was very pleased! I filled the bottom planter with petunias and verbena. The top basket is filled with petunias, verbena, sweet potato vine and topped off with purple fountain grass.

42" Border Column Kit with 16" Double Tier Basket
Being in Florida, there are only certain flowers that can withstand the heat. I choose most of my flowers based on what I have found can last through the summer. I usually choose Purslane, Portulaca, super bells, Lobelia, and Supertunas but have recently added sweet potato vine for the lovely green color and I love how it falls from the basket beautifully! My grandmother and my mother were my inspirations as they both had green thumbs and I always loved their gardens growing up.

This year I went simple with Coleus and impatience. It makes for a calming effect in this garden filled with ferns, natural plants and astilbe. I shot the planter in the sunshine. It truly is so simple and beautiful!

Basket Column Kit for Small Pots
This year I wanted a lot of color. I achieved that by using a Blue/Purple Salvia as my centerpiece. To complement, Bermuda Beach Supertunias, Dark Blue Lobelia, Happy Hour Portulaca, Purple Fizz Verbena, Diamond Snow Euphorbia, Yellow Sun Petunias, Double Red Calibrachoa, Essential Snowberry Nemesia, Pink, Red and White Vincas were used. For filler, Mint Pineapple Herb. The colors worked well together and provided a beautiful and fragrant bouquet that we enjoyed along with many butterflies, hummingbirds and pollinators. I have been planting several years but this is the prettiest yet. So many compliments.
