When you take away the rules, you’ll find endless possibilities
For my first experimental mix, I’m choosing a rather racy bright yellow shallow pot (you can also use a terracotta one, as pictured above). I’m going for a tropical blend with ‘Banana’) as a houseplant centrepiece and a coral-coloured cockscomb () – a striking plant which flip-flops between being sold as a houseplant and a bedding plant. For the ‘outsiders’: a citrus-toned dahlia (such as ‘Lubega Power Yellow-Orange’) and froths of ‘Diamond Frost’, plus a lilac lobelia ().
