Container Garden Featuring Swiss Chard

7/18/2014

I love the combination of flowers my daughter used in her old tin container. My husband said his mother had one similar to this and she used it to boil water in to wash clothes.

Kristin has used Swiss chard for height and then purple ornamental pepper and moss ross in the front, I'm not sure but I think the lavender flower is a pinta flower. The use of the purple ornamental pepper and lavender flower on either side of the Swiss chard was perfect.

The choice of the flowers has done very well where this container sets as it gets direct Kansas sun in the afternoon. The perfect choice for her front porch!

Did you put holes in the bottom of the container or line it with burlap?

Yes, there are holes in the bottom. This is a container my daughter done, I think since it is sitting on a deck I would put some kind of plant feet under the container. The long term use of the container directly on the deck will eventually rot the deck, even treated wood. I always say that a container that will get rain in it will need holes.

Thank you for the question. I do think the colors in this display are fabulous!
