We dropped $70 on the hanging basket for the front porch, but it was massive and full of many different colours and textures and we decided we didn't want to have to buy all of the plants separately and make up our own. It has Coleus, Ivy, Begonias, and a couple of other plants and it is already close to touching the ground. It provides some privacy now that summer drinks on the porch season has begun.
On the front lip of the porch there is just enough room for three rectangular pots, which I filled with different combinations of Coleus (Wizard Pastel), Browallia, "Lemon" Helichrysum, and Tradescantia. They all look a bit sparse right now, but will soon fill out and provide lots of colourful contrast.
In the two antique urns on the patio, CC put Jasmine, a plant we keep inside for the winter, Browallia and Tradescantia cuttings that we had rooted over the winter. The deep purple leaves of the Tradescantia provide good contrast with the shiny, dark green leaves of the Jasmine. It will soon be in flower and the scent is heavenly.
CC got a whole bunch of English Lavender from a site he was working on as his client wanted French Lavender. There were thirty-plus plants and we put them in the boulevard out front and the west-facing wall of the house, both which provide full sun and much-needed drainage.
We then put together some pots of annuals: Browallia, Coleus, Helichrysum and potted up some succulents from the greenhouse, Margeurite Daisies, Begonias, miniature roses and brought out pots of Fuschias for the summer. We also put Impatiens (Accent White), Begonias (Bada Boom White), Coleus and Browallias in the garden beds. It was a lot of work but fortunately, it wasn't too hot and sunny, and now we get to enjoy the fruits of our labour for the rest of the summer.
