Simple yet striking with its abundance of color, this galvanized washtub is the perfect container to grace the old farm pump.
RECIPE:
(16) Zinnias “Profusion,” four each cherry, white, yellow, and fire
TIPS:
• It is important to remove spent zinnia blooms frequently to encourage continuous blooms.
• Fertilize regularly.
• I plant tulip bulbs in this washtub in the fall. Plant thickly. This area is insulated by a snowdrift which helps the tulip bulbs survive in a container. In the spring, I remove the tulips along with the top half of the soil. Add new soil on top and plant for the summer.
