You see them hanging 12 feet up along boulevards, blowing in the wind and totally exposed to the elements. Big beautiful balls of colour! How is this possible for the entire season? You rarely see anyone maintaining them. Ah - but they are. Let's have a look at how you can create and maintain your own big ball of colour in your garden.

I put only US natives in the ground here, but have been pondering getting some hanging plants of non-native annuals. I do enjoy those big balls I see in town. A concern is the wind out here in the "wide open prairie". This article explains that and gives some good ideas. You have some beautiful plants, too Smiling
