Annuals in Strawberry Jars
- Plants in strawberry jars look their best when they are watered daily. Provide good drainage at the bottom so the lower plants don't become waterlogged while the top ones dry out.
- To keep plants blooming from spring till frost, remove flowers as soon as they fade. A light pruning in midsummer will keep growth neat and in check throughout the growing season. Because large strawberry jars can be cumbersome, put them on casters to move them around easily on your patio or deck, or to rotate them so that sunlight hits them evenly. If plants start looking tired and bedraggled, simply move the jar out of sight while you spruce it up.
- For a special effect, use different sizes of strawberry jars in a small cluster, or tie strawberry jars to your in-ground flower border by repeating the same varieties you used in the garden. If your jar will be on the porch or patio, choose a fragrant annual, such as sweet alyssum to add to your enjoyment.
