Here are some ideas for filling your urns with the nicest flowers of the season!

Spring -

• Pansies with stems of pussy willows “planted” toward the back of the planter for height

Summer -

• Try for color that compliments the color of your home or your tricky front door!
• If your front door is pink, skip the red geraniums and go for pink and white flowers!
• Make sure that you keep the flowers varied in height - tall greens in the back, various medium sized plants in the middle and trailing ivy in the front.

Fall -

• Mums or kale or a combination of both
• Kale and trailing ivy last well into the winter in the tri-state area.

Winter -

• This winter I set live evergreen wreaths on the top of my planters and then used the soil in the pot to hold branches of evergreen and holly cut from my own yard.  I tucked glass ball ornaments into the greens!
• Last winter I filled my pots with tons of branches spray painted white.  This was really attractive and easy!
