Celebrate all seasons with classic planters. Planters can be made of iron, wood, plastic, or other materials. Don’t stop at spring time flowers for your planters. Make it a year round affair! Decorative planters can display the changing seasons plants and decorations making them wonderful showcases.
Usher in spring time with the latest gorgeous blooms from the neighborhood gardening store, or use bulbs you have started already. Crocuses and daffodils are very common spring announcers and look great mixed in with some primulas and tulips. You should have blooms until late spring in your decorative planter with these plants.
Summer brings heat and humidity and some fabulous flowers. If your decorative planter is the hanging type, go for some beautiful vines like morning glory and moon flowers. You can add some bright bold color with million bells, or enjoy softer colors with some begonias. Definitely add darker or lighter green plants to your planter to offset the plants greenery and bring some interest.
After summer time flowers have faded, your decorative planter can still be used to show off great fall colors as the leaves are changing and winter is on the way. You can use fall staples such as Indian corn, small gordes or pumpkins to decorate your planter along with some fall mums or decorative kale. Throw in some brightly colored maple leaves or other beautiful falling leaves and you’ll have a great display for fall.
Winter time is hibernation for many flowers and animals. Your decorative planter can be used again to show the symbols and seasonal interests. Pine cones, holiday decorations, and the holiday favorite Poinsettas, can all be used in your planter. Use fake ones if you live in an area with harsh winters. Add some lights, and your holiday display is ready.
