Gorgeous Spring Container Gardens


By Megan McConnell Hughes

Dianthus in galvanized bucket
 

In Love with Pinks

Two petite galvanized buckets connected by a crosspiece and simple handle are the perfect planting place for perennial Dianthus, or pinks. Spur Dianthus to send up a second flush of blooms by shearing off spent flowers. The plants will bloom well into summer when grown in part shade to full sun and watered regularly.
