Start with a timeless Italian terracotta planter from Northcote Pottery. Its classic look complements any style of planting, making it a versatile choice for your garden.
2. Pick Premium Potting Mix
Always use a high-quality potting mix for optimal plant growth and health. Look for one with added nutrients to give your plants the best start.
3. Thrill, Fill, and Spill
Thrill: Select a tall, eye-catching plant, like lavender, to stand proudly at the back of your container.
Fill: Add rounded, fuller plants to fill out the space—such as Paper Cascade Argyranthemum’s, which bloom beautifully in spring.
Spill: Finish with a trailing plant, like cuphea, to cascade gracefully over the edges of the pot.
4. Feed for Success
Keep your display vibrant with controlled-release fertilizer, like Scotts Osmocote All Purpose. This ensures your plants receive the nutrients they need for lush growth.
5. Seasonal Refresh
Apply your choice of finish, we’ve gone with a walnut interior stain. Make sure to apply the stain evenly, working with the grain of the wood. Let the stain dry completely. We used one coat for ours and left it to dry outside for an hour.
Tip: If you want a deeper colour, you can apply a second coat of stain after the first coat has dried
