Get Patriotic With These Beautiful Container Gardens

Spirit of 76

Coleus Superspun Plum Parfait makes a different “thriller” in this arrangement. Add a White Supertunia® filler, and spill with Lobelia Laguna™ Trailing Dark Blue. Try this in a 12-inch pot or pedestal, or in a small window box.
Scarlet Flare

Not a fan of white flowers? Ivy takes that place here. Choose a 24-inch container of any kind (even a hanging basket). Center three 4-inch pots of Lobelia Laguna™ Sky Blue, and surround them with three pots each of Verbena Tukana® Scarlet and Ivy Mini Ester.
Super Chic

This is for the pink-and-purple-gardener who wonders what the heck to do on Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Start with a 14-inch hanging basket and mix three 4-inch pots of each of these petunias, for a container that’s easy on the eyes: Supertunia® Royal Magenta, Supertunia® Royal Velvet and Supertunia® Mini Blue Veined.
Red, White & U

Add yellow to the primary mix with daisies. This suits any kind of 24-inch container, from hanging basket to window box. Cluster the plants in their own areas of the container, using three 4-inch pots of each plant: Marguerite Daisy Molimba® Hello White, Lobelia Laguna™ Compact Blue with Eye, Nemesia Sunsatia® Cranberry and Golden Leaf Sage Icterina.
Liberty Bell

Pastels can look patriotic. Run a stripe of White Supertunia® across the middle of the container. Alternate Verbena Superbena® Large Lilac Blue and Calibrachoa Superbells® Scarlet around the edge. This versatile arrangement calls for three 4-inch pots of each plant, and works in any kind of container from 14-inches on up to 24-inches wide.
Freedom Rings

Simple and effective. Pick a 14-inch hanging basket or any other container that size. Mix together three 4-inch pots of each verbena and you’ve got it made: Tukana® Scarlet Star, Superbena® Dark Blue and Tukana® White.
Born on the Fourth of July

Take a 24-inch container and make three crossing lines of plants, with a trio in the middle. You’ll need three 4-inch pots of each: Lobelia Laguna™ Sky Blue, Nemesia Sunsatia® Cranberry and Verbena Babylon® White.
