Container #27: Icicles and Silver Falls

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

The silvery colors in this container are separated by purple. The Purple Heart plants offer some purple highlights in the background.

RECIPE:
• (1) Licorice Plant “Icicles”
• (2) Littletunia “Blue Vein”
• (2) Dichondra “Silver Falls”
• (2) Trancescantia “Purple Heart”

TIPS:
• Trim the ends of the dichondra when they reach the ground to prevent them from rooting to the ground.
• While they look like calibrachoa, littletunias are actually miniature petunias. They stay dense and have a mounded habit, so they make great filler plants. Littletunias need little if no pruning.
• This container has a large root system so water often.
