Flowering Plants:
THESE CONTAINERS vary widely in shape and size and the types of plant that suit them. Large Tubs are ideal for shrubs as well as summer-flowering bedding plants and spring-flowering bulbs. Urns are smaller and hold less compost. They are usually more decorative in character and so are perhaps best devoted to summer-flowering plants and displays of bulbs in spring.WHEN PLANTING an ornamental pool it is important to take into account the flowering seasons of the ornamentals. Most water lilies are at their peak during the summer months, so try to supplement these with marginal and bog plants that provide spring and falltime interest. Since foliage plants have a longer period of interest than flowering plants, they should form the backbone of your planting.
For healthy plants and prolific flowering, make sure your containers get the very best start and use the right type of compost. Keep this well-watered and regularly cut off the dead flowers and weed the containers. Summer-flowering plants will need feeding regularly.
