Don't you love a beautifully planted container? We do. They do so much for an outdoor living space. They soften corners, invite butterflies and provide fragrance. Not to mention they are fun to watch as they grow. I am always looking for an opportunity to get the most out of my container gardens. The Mexican heather pictured above will actually last indoors over the winter in a sunny spot and winter hardy succulents such as a sedums or hens and chicks can be planted in the ground in the fall. This way the plants don't have to go in the compost pile, but can be enjoyed next year!
