Container Corner
Thrillers, Fillers, and
Spillers

Mill Hollow Nursery specializes in container design and
offers plants well-suited for containers. Our plants are arranged in the greenhouse
not only by color but also by light requirements (shade lovers on one side
& sun lovers on the other). This makes it easy for you to design your own
planters and gardens or have us assist you. Tell us what your needs are and
your budget and we’ll help you select the perfect plants for your
location and pocket book. Depending on your personal style we may suggest bold
colors and tropical foliage or soft pastels and delicate lacy foliage or
anything in-between.
New 2009 introductions include sun-loving
Tuberous Begonias with frilly flowers, giant-leaved Elephant
Ears and Castor Bean plants, and drought tolerant selections like
Agastache ‘Tutti Frutti’ and Euphorbia ‘Silver
Fog’. There are wild, new colors of Coleus’s and
exotic Geraniums with vivid and colorful leaves. There is even a
continuous blooming Miniature Butterfly Bush...perfect for a
container! Consider new Ornamental Grasses like ‘Twisted
Arrows’ and ‘Frosted Explosion’. Select a short
iron trellis (from the Garden Shop) for your planter and grow
unique heirloom English Sweet Peas that flower the entire summer
(I promise) and fill the air with sweet fragrance. Create containers
“good enough to eat” with ‘Purple Flash’ Ornamental
Pepper, and ‘Bright Lights’ Swiss Chard. Miniature
trough gardens can be filled with an array of hardy Succulents in all
shapes, sizes and colors. “Pot your own” in our Potting Shed and
leave the mess with us!
