I love the combination of different types of flowers planted in one pot but there's an art to it I've yet to master. An old website, garden.com, used to offer pre-packaged groupings. They designed and combined the various flowers to plant together as a container garden, making it very simple. Is there a mail order outfit offering various combinations? Like this...

I know that there are garden catalogues that do that for you. But, yiu still have to place the plants within the pot and place the pot in the right light.

I'll keep an eye out.

That IS nice!

Whiteflower Farm has various combos, but I've had mixed luck with them. (Not the combos, Whiteflower Farm in general.)

There is a little local nursery that has really nice stuff, I've been happiest with them.

Good luck!

(Nice to be thinking about that so early.)

(It's gonna be fun to have my very own house so I can really get into gardening!!)

That's what I'm looking for littlek, a mail order company, like Burpees, that will deliver the seedlings to create a pre-designed combo. I'd do my own planting, natch.
It's a little early for you soz but here in the Southeast, we've got about another month and a half before it's time to plant. Last year, according to my garden journal, I planted my first flowers in containers on April 16. Tomatoes went in in early May. Why, that's just around the corner.

I discovered red runners last year. i used them to stand in the background where we had some tubs of Wave petunias. I like tubs of one kind of flower standing in a patch of other massed plants

we buy a lot of peonies at this place. They have a very good and healthy selection of plants

www.songsparrow.com

I think they only sell perennials though.
