Brighten up your space with a vibrant mix of sun-loving annuals in a pot. Red Zinnias steal the show, accompanied by fiery Coleus, sunny Helenium, a Petunia with purplish blue blooms, and a trailing Sweet Potato Vine. This Color Play Container Garden includes 6 plants, with quantities listed. A container at least 16" in diameter and 12" deep is recommended. Planting involves adding potting mix, arranging plants closely, and watering thoroughly. Container plants need regular watering, protection from intense sun, and balanced fertilizer every other week in summer. In cold climates, dismantle containers in fall, bring tender plants indoors, and store pots under cover. In mild climates, hardy plants can stay outdoors.

| Product Care Instructions | Planting: Begin by adding potting mix to the container until the container is about ¾ full. Next, set the plants on the mix one by one, spacing them much more closely than you would when planting them in the ground. Put the tallest plants in the center of the container. Surround them with the shorter, mounding plants, and put trailing plants along the edge. When you are pleased with your arrangement, add potting mix to bring the level to within an inch or so of the container's rim and firm lightly. Finally, water thoroughly. Container care: Plants in containers need special care. They dry out more quickly than plants in the ground and smaller pot sizes may dry out faster due to less soil volume. In the heat of summer, we recommend thorough watering and protection from too much afternoon sun. You may have to water plants daily, or even twice daily. Because of the need for frequent watering, nutrients soon wash out the bottom of the pot. To keep annuals growing and flowering, we suggest you water with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer mixed as directed, every other week in summer. Our Vermont Compost Plus is a mix of 10 ingredients, organic and mineral, that will revitalize last year's potting soil and slowly release nutrients throughout the season. All-Bloom Fertilizer is a 15-30-15 product that can be diluted in water and applied regularly during the growing season. Finally, to look their best, all plants in containers need regular grooming. Remove spent flowers regularly and pinch back any vigorous growers that become too large for their container. Preparing for winter: In climates where winter temperatures drop well below freezing, containers should generally be dismantled in fall. Bring tender plants indoors or toss them on the compost heap; plant hardy bulbs, perennials, and shrubs in the ground. Most containers should be emptied of potting mix and stored under cover; only plastic and fiberglass pots can be left out over winter without cracking. In mild-winter climates—say, Zone 8 (10°F) and warmer—hardy plants can generally be left outdoors in containers with little risk either to the plants or to the pots. |
