Container #41: Soft Hues

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

I love the soft hues in this container! I especially wanted to point out the eucalyptus used as a thriller/spiller plant in this container. Eucalyptus plants grow quite large by the end of the season; therefore what began as a spiller plant becomes a standout thriller plant later on.

RECIPE:
(1) Salvia “Velocity Blue”
(1) Petunia “Easy Wave Yellow”
(1) Petunia “Clear Days”
(2) Dusty Miller “Silverdust”
(1) Eucalyptus “Silver Dollar”

TIPS:
• Remove spent salvia blooms to promote continuous blossoms.
• Trim petunias occasionally to rejuvenate the plants and encourage more blossoms.
