We hope you enjoy the portfolio above. If you are looking for ideas, some of the most popular plants and flowers used in our spring containers are pansies for every season, mandevilla, petunias, licorice and dusty miller.

Let’s talk about how these help to create wonderful color, design and height. Pansies are a favorite for the spring as they create color whether it’s full sun or shade. In our portfolio above, there is a wonderful image of three tall pink trellises which are bursting with mandevilla during the summer. You can see how they really add emphasis to the décor by the pool. Both of the pictures of the front porch pots include petunias. As you can see, they really add volume and color to each of the designs. Depending on the container you use, it will create a different look. Licorice and Dusty Miller both add texture and a silver color to your planters. It’s important to make sure there are different levels of height and color in your containers to add depth. We are more than happy to help you select plants yourself or design them for you, here at the shop or at your home so stop into Nielsen’s today to make your living space beautiful this year.
