Description

Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our expertly designed Container Gardens feature colorful, low-maintenance perennials to brighten your patio, deck, or balcony. Plant in a large pot, at least 18 inches wide and 12-15 inches deep, to give the plants plenty of room. Place in a location where you can enjoy these colorful blooms up close! Total of 6 plants

The Container Garden For Full Sun includes the following plants:

Container Garden Care:
  • Use a premium quality potting mix (NOT garden soil) to fill the container.
  • During the growing season, fertilize regularly with a fish emulsion-based liquid fertilizer at least twice monthly (at recommended rates on the bottle). Deadhead the plants as the flowers fade to keep them tidy and blooming. Water moderately once or twice per month so the soil doesn't get bone dry. In warmer zones 7-9, move the pot to a location protected from excess sun.
  • Winter care: Plants are hardy in zones 6-8. In colder zones, provide winter protection by moving the pots into a garage or protected space before winter freezes. Leave the plants standing over the winter and clip them back hard in mid-spring before moving the pot outdoors for the next growing season.

Plants are subject to change due to availability. Any substitutions will feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden design. Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as may be depicted in the artist’s rendering.

Planting & Care

Planting Care

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success Organicsâ„¢ Soluble Mycorrhizae Root Inoculant.

Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success Organics™ Soluble Mycorrhizae Root Inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).

Could not be happier!!!

"Couldn't be any happier. The plants are hardy and better growers than any of my other natives I've bought locally. Over the moon, couldn't be happier. Smells of agastache are INTOXICATING!"

— Mary (5/5)

Great container garden!

"Wonderful selection for large container in the high desert!"

— Maya (5/5)

My Community Garden plants

"Love your native plants"

— Gardener 7. (5/5)

Very pleasantly surprised

"I've had mixed results with containers in the past and was hesitant to try again, but I've had great success with other pre-planned gardens from HCG and took the plunge with this one. I'm very amazed by how healthy and resilient these plants are! They live on our back deck and it gets so, so hot during summer, but these plants look happy and healthy provided they get water. The agastache in particular grew quite quickly and after planting in late May I was really happy to have a full looking planter by early June. The verbena is a little less impressive, but that's probably due to the placement within my slightly small planter."

Just perfect

"Planted this only 2 months ago. We already have a hummingbird couple that comes to dine on the agastache."

— Joann (5/5)

Quick results

"I planted in 3, 12 in pots because I ran out of large pots to use. I am happy to report that all are doing well and in bloom! Planted in spring and they are doing great, it is late summer now. I do water much more often than advised, perhaps because we live in the low humidity high desert. During the height of the dry heat I water every other day. The agastache was the first to Bloom, followed by the verbena and finally the sage. Now all three are producing flowers. I also did mulch with some tree leaves, that seemed to be helpful."
