Email Save Comment Featured Answer. Hi NHBabs! I live in 8a Dallas, TX and have a terrible habit of killing whatever I touch which is why I like a hardy plant like trumpet vine. I scrapped the climbing vines on our fence and potted flowers and herbs which look really pretty also added some Koziol room dividers to break it up.
Planted them on Sunday and, as much as I hate getting out my watering can, these are worth it. Like 3 Save. Sort by: Oldest. Newest Oldest. ARUM 15 years ago. It will get loose! Like Save.

If you deck weathers naturally it will simply look old and dull without adding any character to your home, so you might begin by staining it a dark walnut, Jacobean, dark mahogany. The dark color acts as a foundation for everything else. White Adirondack style chairs would be perfect. The white would play well off the dark stained deck while blending with the trim on the house. A few throw pillows would add a spark of color and would be especially effective if the same colors were repeated in the plantings.
The area from the steps to the deck would be a larger landing area with the walkway curving between the tree and the deck toward the asphalt path. I'm uncertain how wide the area between the tree and the deck is due to the angle of the picture but if there is room ferns would be lovely beneath the tree. Three tall grasses planted at the left hand corner of the deck would balance the height of the tree on the right.
Plant them in a triangular shape so they wrap around the corner of the deck. Sedges, yarrow's and other wild flowers would be beautiful while requiring practically no maintenance. A few large rocks scattered about add a sense of permanence to the garden.
Every window covering seems to be different, making the outside look choppy. There are high quality artificial plants and trees available, but they are not going to be found at Target or Michaels. My company hand makes artificial trees and plants. If you go with higher end products you will have a much better look in your design.
If you go with really cheap dollar store then it will look fake and like a very old grandma's house. When you go to a fancy hotel and love the decor.. Bamboo, Reeds, Palms, Moss, Boxwoods are very popular now.
I would stay away from the old Ficus you can get from any discount store.. Just buy quality products and you will be ok with Artificial Plants. Ann, thanks for comment on the art. It is an original piece. The artist drew the map, which is amazing to me. We will get it framed, I think. Frame ideas?? And, we still might eventually get a Clark Little original. And put the map art elsewhere. Can anyone photo shop one of the Clark Little prints for comparison?
You have a pretty good eye for design at least from a look at your living room. I totally get wanting some interest. My issue with pots being all the same color or shape is if you ever need another they won't match etc. That said, unlike a pillow which stands on it's own, each of these pots will also have plants in it, which adds another element.
Don't try so hard, just pick one or two and work with those. As said above by multiple posters, the groupings need to have some things in common You don't want to have your patio be dizzying. Choose two or three that coordinate well, then keep those same elements in all future pots. Pay attention to your grays matching. I like the three below. I can't tell if your large planter is matte or glazed but any future planters should be the same black and same sheen as the tall one and have similar shapes to the ones you already have unless you can get ahold of more of the white wave and geo ones.
Don't throw in something with a flared top or squared sides since all these would be round. Use the white and geo as accents. I would still personally throw in a random solid orange one as long as the finish matches one of the three. Or you could get rid of the white waves altogether I think it's funky cool but the white does command attention which might be distracting.
Hard to say when the plants are still so little. Then I would go with the geo, big oxidized square in the corner and tall solid black. The darker colors will give contrast along your pale wall and let the plants really shine. The white ribbed one has no shine like the white waves. The glazed one on the stand has glazed grey and black, found nowhere in the other pots.
The tiny grey one in front has nothing in common with anything, The ribbed grey bowl seems to be a different grey. Seeing this is making me excited for spring! I am currently looking at a snowbank as tall as I am. Thank you all for your advise! It will bloom continuously through the summer, but it needs full sun to do so, at least 6 hours. I suspect that your plants are not getting enough light. I suggest you transplant it to a sunnier location.
Do this in early spring before it starts to grow. If it is a large plant, cut it back to a manageable size, leaving some of the leafy vines intact. Dig it out, maintaining as much soil around the roots as possible and plant in its new location immediately. Keep it consistently watered through the growing season and it should rebound quite nicely. Trumpet vine is a rapid grower that will quickly cover an unsightly fence or screen an unwanted view.
This plant loves the heat, is highly drought tolerant and resists pests and disease. With all these merits it is wonder why many gardeners cringe when trumpet creeper comes up in conversation. The problem is that trumpet creeper can be invasive. Here are a few tips for keeping this rampant spreader under control. Location, location location! Treat this plant like a specimen rather than a companion to your other plants.
Also, the flowers and seed pods can be messy so avoid using this as a cover for pergolas or outdoor entertaining areas. Try planting the vine in a large, plastic pot with the bottom cut out. Plant the pot and vine in the garden. This is a trick I use with another flowerbed invader, mint.
