Add Some Greenery with Spring Planters
Eyeing an attractive spring planter at your favorite restaurant or on your daily stroll is usually enough to plant a green itch for one of your own. If you find yourself wondering where to start, how many plants you need to nicely fill out your planter, and the best way to style it, you’re not alone.
To get started, choose a color palette along with the shapes and textures you want to work with. When selecting the flowers for your planter, you should take the following factors into consideration:
•Sunlight. It’s important to consider the location you intend on placing your planters and how much sunlight that spot receives. Sunlight exposure will have a significant influence on the types of plants you can choose.
•Water. Be sure to choose plants that have a suitable drought tolerance for your climate. Before designing your spring planters, consider if your plants are likely to receive ample rainwater or if they’ll need to be regularly watered.
