Love these arrangements! I just made four planters for the four corners of a canopied deck. I only used red and white impatiens. Now I think I should have put something taller in the middle. Any suggestions?

Kathy is the queen of container gardening!!

A nice 'standard' type plant looks really nice in the middle of a container I think, look above at picture no.8 (third row on the right). Or one of the lovely Cordylines.

My husband likes tose tall, spiky things. What are they called? That's what he just said he'd like to see me put there.

These are called Cordyline...but I can't remember for the life of me what they call them up North. You find them in all the nursery's. Would look good Nancy!
