I'm doing pots with all white flowers this year......?

doing a 'color scheme' this year and have decided on white....thinking of planting the following in pots:





white caladium (sp)


white petunias


white pansies


allysium


white geraniums


white nicotina


white daisies





any other ideas for pots with white flowers???

Another variety of white flowers to consider is jasmine. Many are night blooming, and they smell very sweet.





Another favorite is stephanotis, which also has a very sweet scent. It likes to grow on a trellis, but can be contained to a pot so long as it has something to climb.





I imagine your garden will look absolutely fantastic in the moonlight. Happy gardening.
Reply:Allow me to ask this question - is the world black and white or numerous colors? Does IceCream only come in Vanilla?


Do you wear all white to work daily?


A single pot of all white would be nice and different, however, it would stand out if it has a contrast. If there were three pots I would plant the white geraniums. Long lasting, hardy and minimum maint. On either side I would fill a pot with a deep red geranium. Put the white either in front of or below the red to make the white a focal point.


The petunias and daisy are not all white. Nicotina is nice but high maint. Allysium is basically a spring flower. Go with the Geraniums. Again, low maintenance and feed. Pinch every Saturday.

Reply:i don't know if they make them white.. but begonias are very pretty.. and do you have a spot with a pot that is near a trellis or can you build one that way? because whats very pretty is moon-flower.. it blooms at night... its the white morning glory...
