Try the combination in one of my big planters this year: a soft orange osteospermum predominates, but is molested by a lapis lazuli anagallis, bright yellow sanvitalia, brilliant red callibrachoas, a fluorescent-magenta phlox (and a matching callibrachoa), and one or two other items carefully chosen to give maximum clash. Yee-haw! Ride'm cowboy! Hey, Rodger, how big is that planter? Ceramic, square, probably Chinese or Vietnamese manufacture, about 2' high and 15 " to 18" square. Beautiful cloudy soft gray-green glaze. Modern, not old. The whole thing is a riff on the "hanging basket" concept, and is therefore planted quite thickly with "basket stuffers". When you do this, you *must* be generous with both water and fertilizer to get the best results. It still sounds overplanted. But in a way I feel like emulating next year. Franz |
