Pictures of some of my containers on the front steps and sitting area:



This container, the canna in the center and surrounded by two red petunia wave, dahlias, and double petunia. Next year, I may do the wave (3-4 plants) again; but will start the canna much earlier because it did not do much for height. I think, I may plant the dahlias in a container by itself.



These giant coleus are just wonderful and easy to grow. Facing north and shaded most of the day, it does quite well here. The petunia did surprising well for being in the shade most of the day. I plan on doing this again next year.



Impatients always do well on the front steps, which stays shaded most of the day. The deer rarely come up to the front steps!

Enjoy the blooms!
