Bring color to drab frozen garden By LORNA BONHAM With all the frozen plants, rain and fog, the garden can be looking a little drab. Want to brighten things up by creating a beautiful spot of color on your patio, front porch or in a location that can be seen from inside the house. Remember what you learned at the Red Bluff Garden Club’s Masquer- ade Luncheon in October from Denise Kelly owner of the Plant Barn Nursery in Chico, one trip to the nursery and a beautiful combination planting can be a reality. The plants need not actually be placed in additional soil in the con- tainer. Plants can be left in their nursery contain- ers and placed in a deco- rative pot to create an arrangement that bright- ens things for a short time. Later the plants can be moved to the garden. When choosing plants around the rim will cover up any empty spaces Naturally it is possible to grow an azalea or camellia in a large pot over many years but that pot would need to be larg- er than one which might be used for a temporary planting. Have fun creating an for the container, remem- ber an attractive planting of several plants needs something tall and bright, a thriller, something that fills the center of the pot, the filler, and something that falls over the edge of the pot, the spiller. In order to adjust the planting in the pot, addi- tional extra empty pots, coffee cans, rocks or what ever works, can be used. Nursery moss, which can be purchased, is a great way to cover any holes or protrusions in the grouping. Be certain to provide a way to water the plants if rain does not reach the container or it doesn’t rain for a number of days. If just one plant would be preferred, instead of creating a grouping of different plants, think about what plants might be desirable in the gar- den. Camellia’s and aza- lea’s, which are starting to bloom, are an example of plants that could easily be placed in a temporary pot for several months before moving to the garden. Again a large empty container placed at the bottom of the pot will raise the Camellia higher in the pot and moss attractive spot of color to enjoy. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The pro- gram on Tuesday, Jan. 25 will be on ‘Landscape Design for Outdoor Liv- ing’ by Karen McGrath.
