Have you noticed that you could use a little more color in your garden to make your curb appeal pop? Even though we have at least 6 weeks of warm weather yet many nursery's, farm stands, and garden centers are slashing the prices on their patio pots, hanging baskets, and single pack flowers. You can snap up deals that reduce the original price by 50% or more. Generally the patio pots and hanging baskets are filled with several sorts of complimentary flowers that are meant to make a bold statement. If you do not plan on hanging a hanging basket simply cut off the hanger and you have an instant patio pot. The best part is that these plants are really big by this time of year due to a life of daily care and watering while they are for sale.
Here is how you can take advantage of the savings and freshen up your landscape with almost no effort and pennies on the dollar:
If you have a flowerbed full of perennials that are done blooming or that look a bit tired from our sustained summer heat wave try placing a flowering patio pot (pot and all) among the green foliage. You will get an instant pop of color. If you feel like you need a little height in your foliage just take an empty flower pot, turn it upside down and place your patio pot on top of it. It tuns into an instant pedestal. Thoughtful placement of these color splashes will revive any landscape.
