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.  

This shows the contrast between the white muscari and rosy pink primula.

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