Garden Planters with Thrillers

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Thu May 28, 2009 1:30 pm

Thrillers are those bold and exciting plants in your garden containers; they are usually the tallest and should be planted off to one side of your pot. Add the lower layers of plants surrounding your "thriller", don't forget some with bold colors too. To complete your arrangement, add a few plants to trail over the side so that the planter seems connected to the ground.

I finally put one of these together, using edibles... I have a Lemon Grass as the focal point, with Egyptian Mint on one side, Wild Ginger and a Wild Strawberry plant. I think maybe something a little feathery could be added to finish the effect. I thought of you when I did this. Container garden art is contagious!

Isn't it fun - just wait until you are using all your new herbs - what good things you will cook up! What about rosemary?
