Create Heartfelt Designs with Geraniums
Give your container gardens a refresh with early spring color and plant Geraniums!
To get started, find the ideal pottery for your heartfelt designs. Choose from our vast collection of trendy pots and planters in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles. Fill it with Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil for your gardening success. Our top-of-the-line potting soil is a high-quality blend of organic materials that provides an optimal growing environment for container plants.
Next, it is time to plant! Use the Thriller, Filler, Spiller method for an exciting, love-filled display. Start with the Thriller, or the focal point of your container, and place it in the center, leaving room to add plants around it.
Use Geraniums for their dynamic early spring blooms and vibrant hues and choose red or pink for a lush Valentine’s Day display.
Use Ornamental Cabbage and Carnations as Filler plants to surround your Geraniums. Ornamental Cabbage is prized for its compact rosettes and ruffled leaves. This low-maintenance plant has an attractive mounding habit with delightful color, ideal for creating a full appearance in your containers.
Carnations are popular early blooms that are hardy and long-lasting. Gardeners love them for their fluffy, delicate texture and light fragrance. Fill in the empty areas of your Valentine’s Day creation with these colorful flowers.
Complete your creation with the Spiller plants to add trailing texture and a romantic ambiance. Try Alyssum for a festive arrangement. It is a great addition to any container creation because of its compact growth, trailing habit, and clusters of fragrant flowers.
Once everything is planted, water in thoroughly and add more potting soil if needed. Display on a sunny patio for the ultimate Valentine’s Day décor!
