Instructions
- Fill your flower planter up with potting soil. If it's especially tall, like the garden vase pictured, you may want to add some lightweight lava rocks to help fill it out and reduce the amount of potting soil needed.
- Choose a dramatic large plant as a focal point, and plant it in the center of your planter.
- Add a soft, billowing filler plant around the base of the focal plant.
- Plant a trailing or tumbling plant that spills over the edges around the outside.
- Water lightly after planting and as needed thereafter.
