Containers

Purple kale and coral bells. A container next to the front door draws the eye to the house and can often deflect attention from a front garden that lies dormant through the colder months. This container bursts with color and texture, and the individual plants can be repurposed in future containers or moved to new homes in the garden once they outgrow the container. This container consists of: •Fire twig dogwood •Corokia •Purple ornamental kale •Coral bells 'Creme Brulee' •Spurge 'Black Bird' •Gold carex •Scotch moss

Thanks! The plants are: Left side (orange/peach flowers) it's a trailing begonia. The grass like foliage behind is Liriope (Variegated). The burgandy foliage is a Coleus. Behind the coleus is a Hebe 'Patty's Purple' (Purple flowers, perennial shrub) . Beside the Hebe is Fuschia gartenmeister (Coral colour flowers). The green trailing foliage is a green ipomea. The few bits of silver foliage is Helichrysum. The Hebe likes a bit more sun than the other plants but it seems to do fine in part sun conditions. 3 - 4 hours of sun (morning sun) would be fine. I also fertilize once a week with 15-30-15 (Miracle Grow or any other brand with those numbers). This container is quite large and I fill a large watering can of fertilizer and use the entire watering can on it.
