Contain your excitement
It’s no coincidence that planting combinations for pots are often called recipes: it’s all about mixing a range of ingredients to make something appealing and exciting. But I don’t think of container plantings as a trifle or even lasagne – I want each pot to be a meal in itself, so to speak, and by grouping pots together I hope to make a splendid feast that lasts for months on end.
To make good use of your pots for winter and spring months you need to gather your ingredients in autumn. Plants settle happily
