2 Container Gardening To Enhance Landscapes
3 Larry A. Sagers Extension Horticulture Specialist Utah State University Thanksgiving Point Office
4 Among the popular gardening trends of the past few years is a renewed interest growing plants in areas besides the garden
5 Planting plants in containers is a rich historic pastime
6 It is hard to identify the first container gardens but Egyptians, Babylonians and others planted container gardens
7 Romans used terracotta vessels or clay pots for container growing
8 In royal gardens of Europe, elaborate container plantings graced the palace grounds
9 Today s interest is spurred by many developments in the horticultural industry
10 While most containers adapt to grow plants, durable, lightweight, attractive pots make container gardening easier
11 Any garden center carries a myriad of styles, sizes and color of pots to delight any gardener
12 They are usually frost proof, less likely to break while being handled and moving them does not require visits to the chiropractor
13 Use a variety of sizes and shapes of pots with four common characteristics
14 Avoid dark, black pots unless they are going into another container
15 Black pots get too hot so, unless you are trying to grow steamed plant roots, select a lighter colored container
16 Avoid growing plants in containers that are too small
17 Use containers that are at least 16 in diameter and hold several gallons of media so they do not dry out too quickly
18 If you have large cast iron or concrete planters, grow the plants in other containers and then slip them inside the heavy unwieldy containers
19 Another important improvement for growing plants is artificial soils
20 These soil-free mixes or peat-based soils are light weight and they have excellent water and air drainage
21 They are free of harmful insects, diseases and weeds so they are excellent growing mediums
22 Use artificial or soil-free mixes
23 Commercial mixes have peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite
24 These mixes are free of pathogens and drain freely so there are no problems with root rot or over-watering
25 Address the horticultural aspects of growing
26 Plant roots need oxygen, so make certain they have good drainage
27 Make certain all of the containers have holes so they drain well
28 The quickest way to kill container planters is to have them sit in water
29 Adequate drainage is essential for all container plantings
30 To help plants bloom profusely, include slow release fertilizer such as Osmocote in the pots
31 You can use liquids and fertilize them every time you water to keep the plants blooming
32 Other developments are the wonderful new plants that make showy, long blooming containers for any growing area
33 Many new plants and an abundance of exciting new cultivars are some of the best performers in containers
34 Many trail over the side of the pot with masses of blooms in a myriad of colors
35 Decide where you want to grow the container and select the plants accordingly
36 Some plants work well in shaded, protected areas and others work best in full sun
37 Plants for shade are coleus, many kinds of begonias and impatiens
38 For full sun, consider some of these favorites
39 Imagination Verbena
40 Symphony African Daisies or Osteospurmum African Daisy are larger and showier than older types
41 Diascia Hybrids
42 For trailing plants, try the ornamental sweet potatoes or Ipomeas
43 The lime green variety is Marguerite
44 The dark purple black colored variety is Blackie
45 The multicolored variety is Tricolor
46 Bidens Bidens
47 Calibrachoa Calibrachoa hybrid
48 Ornamental Pepper Capsicum annuum
49 Vinca Catharanthus roseus
50 Strawflower Helichrysum
51 Edging Lobelia Lobelia erinus
52 Nemesia Nemesia strumosa
53 Geranium Pelargonium x hortorum
54 Annual Fountain Grass Pennisetum setaceum
55 Petunia Petunia x hybrida
56 Creeping Zinnia Sanvitalia procumbens
57 Marigold Tagetes hybrids
58 Garden Verbena Verbena x hybrida
59 Twilight Blue Sparks Verbena
60 Superbena, Pink Shades Verbena,
61 Narrowleaf Zinnia Zinnia angustifolia
62 New, exciting plants are added each season
63 Planting The Containers The formula is simple: Thrills Spills Fills
64 When creating containers use taller flowers for the center These are the thrills
65 Fill in with some medium plants These are the fills
66 Finally add trailing varieties to cascade over the container edges These are the spills
67 You will end up with some of the most attractive plantings ever to grace your garden
68 When growing container gardens, keep care of them for the entire summer
69 Many people plant or purchase container gardens in the spring and they look good
70 Neglecting light, water and fertilizer often make the containers become overgrown and straggly
71 Cut them back and or deadhead them and keep them well watered and fertilized
72 Then they will stay attractive through the entire season
73 Consider creating different types of container plantings with new plant varieties
