I\u2019ve always said planting in containers is a great entry point into gardening. I also love the convenience of container gardening. It\u2019s easy to change out plants from season-to-season, and, especially with the lightweight nature of Crescent containers, it\u2019s easy to move them around from one place to the other. This allows you to give the same container different looks throughout the seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in the spring, I filled my Crescent containers with hyacinths, daffodils<\/a>, and tulips and placed them on the back porch. In the summer, I moved some of the containers to the cottage entryway, where I planted them with petunias, fountain grass, carex, and cleome. Even after sitting out in the sun all season, they still look great! Because of their double-walled construction, Crescent containers can stand up to the high summer temperatures without fading.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see that the same\u00a0Bleeker Planter<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with fountain grass made it into the fall display near the vegetable garden sheds. I filled\u00a0Madison Planters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with ornamental cabbage and mums and used pumpkins and gourds both in and around the containers for a festive touch.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the winter, I will move the containers elsewhere on the property and probably plant some evergreens that will take us through winter. That double-walled construction comes in handy in the winter too. Unlike terracotta and ceramic planters that are prone to cracking when the temperature drops, Crescent container won\u2019t. And, the planters protect the plants\u2019 roots from extreme temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crescent is my go-to for planters that will take me through all the season for years to come!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
