Container Before and After
03.05.2024 - 14:14 / finegardening.com / GPOD Contributor
Cherry Ong has shared these photos of a container she created for her garden in Richmond, British Columbia, last summer. She used a big container, about 32 inches in diameter, from her favorite source, Pot Inc., and planted it up with all kinds of beautiful plants, with a heavy emphasis on great foliage and flowers playing a supporting role.
Here is the container newly planted up. It includes Fuchsia ‘Hawkhead’ (Zones 7–10), Fuchsia ‘Gartenmeister Bonstedt’ (Zones 9–10), Fuchsia ‘Autumnale’ (Zones 10–11), Aeonium ‘Velour’ (Zones 10–11), Aeonium arboretum (Zones 10–11), Aeonium ‘Mardi Gras’ (Zones 10–11), Aeonium ‘Kiwi’ (Zones 10–11), Salvia officinalis ‘Icterina’ (Zones 4–10), Euphorbia ‘Diamond Snow’ (Zones 10–11), Senecio mandraliscae (blue chalksticks, Zones 9–11), Sedum nussbaumerianum (coppertone stonecrop, Zones 9–11), Kalanchoe tomentosa ‘Chocolate Soldier’ (Zones 10–11), and Lantana ‘Royale Pina Colada’ (Zones 8–11).
In the same newly planted container, dark-foliaged succulents and fuchsias contrast with their lighter and gold-variegated counterparts.
And from the other side, the variegated sage really looks amazing.
Here’s what the combo looked like after it had matured at the end of the summer!
The fuchsias really got huge over the summer, and they look so good with all the succulents.
This was definitely a successful planting design!

This Flat Croissant Ham & Cheese Sandwich Recipe Is the Perfect Savory Breakfast
If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case. We all know (and love) the classic flaky croissant, but bakeries and home chefs have taken the pastry to new heights (or lows?) by flattening it and frying it to make it even crispier.
