Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers

For a lush container that is sure to dazzle follow a simple three-ingredient recipe. 

First select a "Thriller". A centerpiece plant with star quality, something big, bold and beautiful. 

Favorite Thrillers: Angelonia, Ornamental Grasses, Canna Lily, Elephant Ears, Gaura and Spike "type"plants. 

 

Next add "Fillers" around the "Thriller". Foliage or flowering plants that complement the composition and fill in the pot. 

Favorite Fillers: Begonias, Impatiens, Petunias, Dwarf Zinnias, Coleus, Cigar plant, and Euphorbia. 

  

Finally, shoehorn in a few "Spillers" toward the edge of the pot.
