春季花盆裏應該種的花[多圖]

Beauty in Bloom

Tulips(鬱金香), daffodils(水仙), and hyacinths( 風信子)are bellwethers of spring. In this simple ceramic bucket, a skirt of light pink Diascia surrounds a clump of magenta tulips. Prolong the life of your plantings by purchasing plants with tightly closed buds. The buds will open in a few days and color your container for two or more weeks.



In Love with Pinks

Two petite galvanized buckets connected by a crosspiece and simple handle are the perfect planting place for perennial Dianthus(康乃馨), or pinks. Spur Dianthus to send up a second flush of blooms by shearing off spent flowers. The plants will bloom well into summer when grown in part shade to full sun and watered regularly.




Sitting Pretty

A painted wooden garden trug turns into a focal point with annual Dianthus(康乃馨)and trailing Dichondra (馬蹄金-俗稱馬蹄草,又叫黃膽草、九連環、金錢草)to create an abundant and informal look. (Tip: Line the bottom of the container with heavy plastic, or set pots into plastic water trays.)



Scent of Spring

Sweetly perfumed stock revels in cool conditions. The handles on a loosely woven basket make it easy to hang this fragrant treasure where you are likely to walk by and enjoy the scent. An excellent cutting flower, stock is available in shades of white, pink, purple, red, yellow, and orange.



Cradle Color

Plum-and-white Regal geraniums (天竺葵Pelargonium spp.) are tucked in by cheery deep pink pansies (三色紫羅蘭Viola x wittrockiana) in a doll-size planter. A coat of exterior wood sealant protects the cradle from moisture. For long-lasting plantings, drill drainage holes in watertight containers. If that isn\'t possible, water only to lightly moisten the soil and let the potting soil dry slightly between waterings.




Long-Lasting Fancy

Delicate white heart-shape flowers float among the foliage of perennial bleeding heart (荷包牡丹Dicentra spectabilis f. alba) while the annual cascading Diascia (雙距花)completes the floral pairing in this old toolbox. Perennials spring to life as container plants. After enjoying their flowers, transplant them into the garden to become a permanent part of your landscape.



Sweet Perfume

In your local garden centers, look for prechilled bulbs already potted and growing. Here, hyacinth(風信子 ) bulbs fill the air with sweet perfume.




Tightly Planted

When repotting sprouted bulbs, such as white Muscari(葡萄風信子), tightly arrange them for the best effect.
