Dressed to thrill
The best containers create a display that’s full of colour, texture and interest. First choose your thrillers, which are your star players and the focal point of your display. Look for tall annuals, perennials and ornamental grasses that provide height and drama. Try:
Agapanthus ‘Margaret’ for abundant, tall powder-blue flowers.
Astelia chathamica ‘Silver Spear’ for striking metallic-sheened leaves.
Canna indica ‘Purpurea’ for green and bronze leaves topped with red/orange flowers.
Superlative for shade
