Since Mother's day is the unoffical start of summer annual season, my Dad and I took a trip to the nursery last weekend for some annuals (and a fancy watering can for me!). I didn't know what I wanted to do in the backyard yet so I just got annuals for my cast iron urns that I got this spring.
I had a client that would buy hanging baskets to put in her pots so right away they look lush and full and were spilling over! So I gave it a try this year! I don't plan on doing this for all my pots, but I think it worked well for the front urns.
I wasn't sure what type of plants and what colors I wanted, I figured I would just wander around the nursery and see what they had. I decided on petunias and verbena in shades of yellow and purple. Maybe not my first choice, but a nice summer combo which will hopefully look fab until fall when it is time for mums! (With tons of water since those urns, as lovely as they are, don't hold a lot of soil!)
