Tips for a successful planter box arrangement
- Group flowers that have similar sunlight needs together. For example, full sun plants should be planted with other full sun plants, while shade-loving plants should be grouped together.
- Combine flowers with different blooming times to ensure continuous color and interest throughout the growing season. Mix early bloomers with mid-season and late bloomers.
- Select flowers with colors that complement each other to create a visually appealing display. Use the color wheel to find harmonious color combinations. We like the Garden Color 101 page at Longfields.
- Consider the growth habits and heights of the flowers. Taller plants should be placed at the back of the box with shorter plants in front. Avoid planting aggressive spreaders with delicate plants.
- Some flowers have natural pest-repelling properties and can benefit their neighbors. For example, marigolds can deter pests and are great companions for many other flowers and vegetables.
- Mix flowers with different foliage textures and colors to add depth and interest to your garden, even when flowers are not in bloom.
- Ensure that the flowers you choose are suited to your climate and hardiness zone.
- Provide adequate spacing between plants to allow for proper airflow and prevent diseases. Follow the recommended spacing guidelines for each flower variety.
