Q&A - I need colorful plants for my planters
Question:
I am an amateur gardener. I am looking for beautiful plants for my outdoor entry way planters. Can you give some advice for the best colorful plants that can handle the sun?
Answer:
UT/TSU Extension agent Joellen Dimond talks about how to organize a planter. You want to have a focal point so plant a plant that is tall. Then you want to have some plants that spill over the edge of the planter. Also, you want to have plants to fill in the space. Thrillers, fillers and spillers.
