hello friends I am Jenny welcome to Gardening with Creekside today we have
a fun gorgeous very impactful container of beautiful annuals that is in a
wheelbarrow yes I planted this massive container in an old wheelbarrow this was
going to go to the dump pile the trash the landfill whatever you want to call
it because it had a flat flat tire it has holes in it and then the handles
were giving me splinters but I said you know what Jenny think bigger think
outside we're going to turn this into a container and it has turned out to be an
absolutely gorgeous container here in the back we have proven winners blue
suede shoes salvia there's only two of these in here
they were gallon containers when I planted them the blue suede shoes is
just an absolutely gorgeous color it is new it has just that classic blue bloom
on it the hummingbirds go nuts over this thing they absolutely love it so that
gives me my height in the container then this massive gorgeousness of white
blooms because you know you have to have those bloomy blooms this is the
proven winners again the brand new Vista snow drift snow drift is the new
addition to the Vista series of supertunias from proven winners it is a
pure white bloom the Vista petunias are some of the most vigorous growers that
they have on the market they are perfect for large containers like this and in
the landscape so again there's only two of those guys in here and they are just
absolutely gorgeous now for some fun and to be another spiller element we have
the dichondra Silver Falls this is just a great foliage plant it is silver it is
very soft everybody just loves they come by to touch it and it just brings that
blue silver look to the container and it will just continue to trail down
throughout the growing season then to fill in the corner this was a little
bit of an experiment we will see how it does is the blue my mind evolvulus
again it is a great annual for us here in the south it loves it hot and dry it
will do these gorgeous little dainty and blue blooms now it is a member of the
morning glory family and with all morning glories they open and close with
the Sun so right now all their blooms are asleep and you don't see them
hopefully the salvia will not overtake it but it could happen and if it does
then I'm okay with that because the salvia is just gorgeous now this whole
container will be an annual container for us again we are in North Carolina a
zone 7b all of these are annuals I don't mind that because it is going to
give me gorgeous gorgeous flowers for months on end until a hard freeze
I love planting this in this wheelbarrow because this wheelbarrow is very deep
and it holds the water so I don't have to water this as much or as routinely as
I would if it's just in a more shallow container and it's just really neat
everybody that comes through here at the nursery just thinks it's the coolest
idea and they're like we need to go find an old wheelbarrow this container was so
much fun for me to plant I love looking forward to it every year seeing how I
can plant in different ways in different combination I hope this is giving you
some inspiration to think outside your traditional containers so make sure that
