WE INVITE YOU TO CELEBRATE SPRING WITH US!
COLORFUL PLANTS WILL BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY!

It is fun and relaxing to create colorful displays of plants for window boxes and/or containers. They will provide you with lush beauty from Mid-May until the first frost. It is best to plant annuals outside after the last frost- usually April 15 – May 1 in our area.

If you choose to plant combination window boxes or containers you will need to select a centerpiece plant, filler plants, edging plants and trailing plants that hang over the edge of the container. Below are some plant suggestions for sun and shade containers.
