My Mom is an amazing gardener! She uses her inspiring creativity so well in her garden. This year, she has taught me about the Thrill, Spill and Fill Method for planting in containers and urns.
Thrill
In this image, the large hosta is the thrill with the tall flower. After the flower is done the hosta will grow up to 21 inches tall.
Fill
Fill is a tuberous begonia, a double impatiens and a Baby Bunting hosta.
Spill
Spill is a becopa.
Keep the Squirrels Away!
The pine cones deter the squirrels from digging. They love potting soil!
I’m no green thumb, so these kinds of tricks are invaluable to me…thanks for showing me how easy it can be. I guess I shouldn’t get so intimidated!!
So pretty!! Thank you for the great tip to easily putting together a great selection of plants in a planter.
So an easy concept…even an outdoor greyish green thumb like me could do this!
I have 3 empty planters I now feel inspired
That ends up looking so great! Thanks for the idea!
