Not sure where to start? Try making a holiday-themed container garden! Fill your favorite pottery with fresh cool season color and Christmas greenery to complete your holiday décor.
HOW TO START A CONTAINER GARDEN
First, fill your containers with Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil, leaving room for your plants. Our new Premium Container Potting Soil helps your plants get the best start for healthier, continued growth.
IDEA #1: RED & GREEN HOLIDAY CONTAINER GARDEN
For a delicious fragrance and gorgeous texture, start your container garden with Christmas greenery like a Lavender Holiday Tree. This living tabletop topiary has silvery foliage and requires some pruning to maintain the elegant tree shape.
Next, surround the Lavender Tree with red Cyclamen for holiday flair. Cyclamen contains blooms with swept-back petals among a cascade of heart-shaped leaves. The distinctive features of Cyclamen make them a delight for containers and gardens throughout the cooler seasons.
To complete your red and green container garden, add in some fresh herbs like Blue Label Organic English Thyme or Oregano. Thyme and Oregano are perennial staples in any herb garden. They are fragrant and can be used to add extra flavor to your holiday feast!
Paired with gorgeous white pottery, this holiday creation is the perfect addition to your décor!
IDEA #2: GREEN & WHITE HOLIDAY CONTAINER GARDEN
For a natural color scheme, start with a classic holiday plant like a Norfolk Island Pine. An easy-care plant with festive appeal, Norfolk Island Pine is known for its needled, arching branches and vibrant green color. This is a lovely tabletop plant for fun decorations during the Christmas season and throughout your office and home. Looking for a unique gift? This lovely little plant comes with a handy gift tag!
Next, add crisp white Cyclamen as an accent. The white petals of Cyclamen among the greenery of this container adds a glowing essence, reminiscent of Christmas lights.
To complete your green and white combination, add in fresh herbs like Blue Label Organic Purple Sage. Purple Sage is a popular choice to add flavor to your turkey dinners. This strong scented herb gives an earthy flavor and is popular to use in poultry and meat dishes and is filled with vitamins and minerals.
Accent your holiday décor with your creation to compliment your Christmas style!
IDEA #3: POINSETTIA CONTAINER GARDEN
For a quick container garden and easy gift idea, try planting a fresh Poinsettia in stylish pottery! No other plant says ‘Christmas’ like the dazzling colors of Poinsettias! The bright leaves capture the joyous sentiments of the holidays with bright, bold colors. Poinsettias from Calloway’s and Cornelius Nursery are selected for their unmatched quality and selected from premium growers to ensure that you receive the best of the best.
