Add height and colour to the garden with summer flowers in tiered planters

For many, spending a gentle Saturday pottering around a garden centre to pick up a few plants is a sure-fire sign that summer is nearly here. In fact, it’s the ideal time to buy some potted plants and add some colour to the garden – from opulent dahlias and pretty carnations, to fast-growing asters and vibrantly-coloured bougainvilleas.

Buying a classic pot to house a beautiful new flower is a good choice – but there is an even easier way to make a statement. By using Town & Country’s tiered planters, you can create a unique display by stacking the pots – bringing bright new flowers higher up to create a multi-layered display.

With a twist and a stack interlocking design, the tiered planters can create height and interest, enabling the buyer to create a totally unique display of flowers.

For example, perhaps someone may choose to create a spectacular display with varying shades of blues – with delicate Lily of the Nile, springy catmint, and salvias taking centre stage.

Alternatively, reflect the summer’s sunshine with glorious shades of orange and yellow – from pretty miniature ‘pom-pom’ dahlias to sunny marigolds, trumpet-shaped hibiscus flowers and California poppies.

Or perhaps the focus will be more about the varying levels of the plants within Town & Country’s planter. By choosing trailing plants which will drape gently over the tiers, it’s possible to create a totally different look using the same layout. With their vibrant colours and beautiful bell-shaped flowers, fuchsias are an obvious choice here, as well as fiery begonias.

Create a display which is good enough to eat – literally – by planting tomatoes or strawberries and enjoy their fragrance, and the fruits of your labour, all summer long.
