Plant the Large Combination
Container
With your plants ready to go, it's
time to get planting! Fill your
largest pot with potting soil,
stopping 2-3 inches underneath
the lip. Dig out a hole either in
the center, or the back of the
container, put your "thriller" plant
in there, and fill in with soil. Move
on to the "fillers," planting them
around the "thriller." Last but not
least, plant the "spillers" close to
the edge of your large container
looks best.
Plant the Monoculture Containers
This part's easy. Now that you have your combination
pot ready to go, plant up your smaller pots with
individual varieties. Once all of your smaller pots are
planted, group all of the pots together on a landing,
around a bench, or anywhere you'd like some extra life.
You don't have to take this formula literally. Even one
or two monocultures paired with your combination will
achieve a unified, designer look.
