Directions

  1. Start with bright flowering plants from Hy-Vee Floral, then follow these steps.

    Grab your desired pot and check for a drainage hole. If the pot doesn't have a drainage hole (and sauce to collect runoff), line the bottom with 2 inches of gravel to collect excess water. 

  2. Next, fill the container halfway with soilless potting mix. Add your plants and move them around until you find a design you like. 

  3. Consider arranging multiple colors of plants in clusters or ribbons for a more natural and less spotty look. To soften the overall look of the pot, add trailing ivy.
