Are you officious planning your container designs for the season ? assay take some traditional houseplants out into the light . This is a prophylactic plant life ( Ficus elasticacv . ) I bought tacky at Home Depot a dyad of years ago just for my outside containers . This is early in the time of year , so it has n’t reached its downright full potential yet , but it was fun to mix it with traditional annuals for a big and sheer effect . Lots of houseplant work great as ingredients in interracial outdoor containers , and they love the shade , where it ’s hard to find sheer container plant . My other favorite is croton ( Codiaeumcvs . ) . Their groundless and wacky colouration do n’t even need to be mixed with other plants to clear up a louche spot .
P.S. – Sorry about the e-mail mixup yesterday ! I did post a photo for Thursday . It’shere . Enjoy !
