,,I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial on creating spring containers full of color. One of the key elements to achieve a vibrant display is choosing the right plants.
For this tutorial, I've selected a few varieties that I know will thrive in containers and provide a spectacular show. The featured plants include Heuchera Carnival Cocomint, Frizzle Sizzle Blue Pansies, Ballerina Sweet Apricot Primrose, and Acorus 'Ogon'. These plants offer a range of colors and textures that will make your containers pop.
When selecting plants for your spring containers, consider their growth habits and compatibility with each other. Aim for a mix of tall, upright plants, trailing plants, and fillers to create a visually appealing arrangement.

Now that we have our colorful plants, let's dive into arranging them for maximum impact. The key here is to create a sense of balance and harmony within the container.
Start by placing the tallest and upright plants in the center or towards the back of the container. This will provide a focal point and add height to the arrangement.
Next, add the trailing plants towards the edges of the container, allowing them to cascade down and soften the overall look. This adds a sense of movement and visual interest.
Finally, fill in any gaps with the filler plants. These will add texture and help create a lush and full appearance. Remember to consider color combinations and contrast when arranging the plants for a visually stunning result.
