Spring Container

It is very easy to quickly put a spring container together to brighten up a corner.  As the weather has turned a little cooler, it certainly cheers up my day being greeted by this splash of colour by the front step.

 Start off with a suitable container and some good potting soil.  Appropriate spring flowers are pansies, violas, primulas, spring bulbs and a feature plant (in this case I used the white muscari and the deep rosy pink ranunculus).  I am always looking for contrasts so the white violas and the white muscari (grape hyacinth) work well against the primulas, violas and ranunculus.

 It only takes a few minutes to put this all together and is relatively inexpensive to do.
