Rose are such a popular flower and there are so many types and varieties that it's hard to choose. They are also a wonderful flower to plant into a flowerpot and place around your landscape, patio or porch areas. Not everyone has a lot of space and if you live in a apartment or condo you are really limited in the amount of potted flowers you can grow. But, here are a few suggestions for roses in smaller planters.
Apricot Drift is perfect for garden containers because they produce soft apricot blooms that flower into fall. They usually only grow to approximately 3 feet high and are great of you are looking for ground cover with flowers.
Bulls Eye is a fun one to plant in to a flowerpot. It looks like a bull's eye target with its red center. These can grow up to 5 feet so even though you can put them into a container try to lean towards a larger planter if possible. Bulls Eye has a lovely fragrance so place the flowerpot around a seating area where everyone can enjoy its scent.
Tuscany Superb can grow up to 4 feet in height and tends to be rather bushy. A bushy plant into a garden planter is lovely and perfect for spaces outdoors that need some color and take up space. The colors are bold and bright and really delightful. Use a plain colored flowerpot or clay pot because these roses will add enough of a colored pop to dress up your patio or porch area.
Do a bit of research on these potted rose suggestions. Make sure you know how to keep them happy from watering to fertilizing. And, they in turn will delight you with bursts of color & heavenly scents.

Pot Up Fun Sunflowers |

Here's some tips on growing sunflowers in garden planters!
Who doesn't love the golden smiling faces of a sunflower. Now you can pot them into planters with great success by following a few easy tips.
First, there are many varieties that range in color and size. So of course unless you have giant planters selecting the smaller variety would be recommended. Dwarf sunflowers are the best place to start. These varieties can grow up to 3 feet tall so when selecting a flowerpot make sure it is deep and the right size.
Most dwarf varieties will still have extensive roots that can support their stems so make sure they have room to do so. You want a garden container that is deeper than wider to be able to do this.
Basically when it comes to size remember, the bigger the sunflower the bigger the planter is needed. And, as always make sure the planter has drain holes. This prevents root rot.
Next, place the outdoor planter where it will get sunlight. The sunflower plant needs this in order to perform it's best. If the pot doesn't get full sunlight try putting the garden planters on a coaster with wheels so you can move it around during the day.
Lastly, don't forget to water but not over water. And fertilize on a regular basis. Plants when potted tend to use the potting mix nutrients faster than in the ground, and therefore need you to replenish the soil regularly.
Sunflowers are fun to grow. They make you smile every time you see them and always add a burst of golden color to any landscape or patio areas.

Make small outdoor area look bigger |
|
|
|
|
Not everyone has the space to make a large outdoor area but here are a few tips to help make small areas look a bit larger using planters, colors, & flowers.
Create areas that can be multi-functional. A table to drink a cup of coffee, play board games, service food or buffet for entertaining. Everyone likes to be outdoors when the weather permits enjoying the potted flowers, the sweet clean air, and bright sunlight.
Turn a blank patio wall into a vertical garden. That will visually expand the area and make it look larger and more lush. Plant lots of hanging baskets, trailing evergreens like ivy & more. If there is a ledge at the top of a wall place window box or rectangle planters and fill with climbing plants and flowing flower vines.
When deciding what colors to plant, remember if you place yellow & red flowers at the front of the garden and blues at the back it helps create a feel that the garden area is larger than it really is. Follow the same pattern with colored garden containers. The cool colors make that area seem further away and the overall garden deeper.
Tiny or small scale furniture makes the overall area appear larger. When you have a huge sectional couch and huge rockers on a small garden patio they look like they are swallowing them up. If you stick with a more limited size of furnishings and planters it looks more balanced and proportioned.
Lastly, try using mirrors on a garden or patio wall. How about mirrored or reflective outdoor planters. The light will reflect off of them and they will create a much larger looking area with sunlight & plants reflecting in the mirrors.

Do this before reusing a planter |
|
|
|

Now is the time to pull out all your wintered garden tools, & garden planters. But, before you start repotting your new seeds & starter plants, there is a important step you need to implement to make sure your growing season starts off on the right foot.
Its time to wash those pre-used flowerpots and make sure they are totally clean and ready to go. This step is very important and not one you should pass on. Why you ask? Well bacteria or fungus can be in that favorite flower planter and you may not even be aware. How about pest eggs or larvae? Nobody wants to pot up fresh seedlings in that garden planter do they?
So, you think it's hard to clean your outdoor planters? Well think again! Start by gathering all the pottery you want to clean. Grab a hard bristle brush and get after it. Clean the inside of the garden containers looking for dried dirt, old roots or any debris that could still be attached.
Then fill a clean bucket with a bleach & water solution. One part bleach and eight parts water. Or if you want to go more natural use equal parts vinegar & water. Then soak the pots in either solution. Make sure after 20 mins or so you rinse them off completely. You can hose them off and leave them to dry in the sun.
That's it. They should look, & smell clean and ready to plant in. It may sound like a unnecessary step but it really does help your new plants thrive and survive in clean garden planters.

Garden Statues In the Yard or Garden |
|
|
|
|
 |
At Arizona Pottery, we like to believe that every landscape, patio, garden or yard should have a sculpture.
When placing art in your landscape or garden you are bring a touch of drama, romance or artistic elegance to that area. There are a few tips that might help make that adventure a total success. If you start by looking at the area or space you are thinking of placing a Frank Lloyd Wright Sprite garden statue or any other type of art you need to think of it as a room. Do you like a room without art on the walls or tables?
Well, if you do then you will like a garden sculpture. A well placed statue completes a lovely landscape area. Many folks have certain looks they are going for. Are you Zen, Country, Elegant Frank Lloyd Wright Statues, Animal statues, Religious or Modern.
Do you want color or muted tones to blend into your outdoor living designs? Next consider size. Would a small dog statue laying under a shade bush be just want you were looking for to add a touch whimsy or how about a tall elegant Frank Lloyd Wright Sprite or Nakoma statue?
Remember, placement is everything. A garden sculpture should look like part of the landscape design instead of just sitting in it. Try to nestle them around tall shrub or plants, under bushes or out where the sun will catch it.
This doesn't have to be complicated. You know what you like. Have fun & bring a touch of art to your outdoor areas.
