Planting a beautiful flower basket
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — Join Josephine Saige and Yrma from Bookcliff Gardens while they plant gorgeous flower baskets to get ready for the spring and summer season.
You start with a basket filled with good soil. Then, pick out flowers you love and fit with your sunny or shady environment, usually according to the color wheel. Pick a thriller, a filler and a spiller. A thriller is the main point of focus, it’s something big and beautiful. A filler is a smaller flower or leafy plant to surround the thriller. The spiller is typically something that will grow down to give your basket a little dimension.
After planting all your flowers gently put a long-term fertilizer on top and water the basket. Always research or check with your local greenhouse to make sure you know what each specific plant needs.
