“Running Over”

1. Fountain Grass “Rubrum”
2. Verbena “Dark Purple”
3. Supertunia “Raspberry Blast”
4. Supertunia "Bordeaux"
5. Diascia "Genta White"

Fountain Grass
“Rubrum”

This annual grass is the star of the container. Rubrum features burgundy tipped plumes that will compliment the violets and purples in the Supertunias and Verbena Jill has added to the design.

Verbena
“Dark Purple”

No deadheading required because this verbena is self cleaning. It is disease resistant and absolutely gorgeous. Light pruning will encourage branching.

Supertunia
“Raspberry Blast”

This two toned petunia is a traffic stopper in the greenhouses. It is easy to care for and will tumble attractively over any container.

Supertunia

"Bordeaux"

This supertunia is my personal favorite. I love the way the dark violet purple is framed by the lilac border. It just pops in any container.

Diascia

"Genta White"

Diascia is from the snapdragon family. Take a close look at the flower and you'll see the family resemblance. Diascia is frost sensitive, so make sure that you harden off your plants and listen to the weather forecasts.

At Dutch Growers, our container designers love to choose from the wide selection of Proven Winner plants. Proven Winners are bred to be top performers in any garden.

The key to success is remembering to feed your containers regularly. I add SmartCote to all my containers in the spring and then fertilize weekly with Plant Prod's 15-30-15. A hose end fertilizer applicator makes it easy.
