CARNIVAL HUES 

This combo is all party-right down to the brilliant cobalt blue pot. Sculptural Oakleaf croton stands out as the upright element, surrounded by Sonic Hot Rose on Gold New Guinea impatiens, 'Karen' Rieger begonias, Heuchera villosa 'Citronelle', 'Sweet Caroline Bronze' sweet potato vine, and Sundew Springs Lysimachia.

RISE AND SHINE

This grouping likes a sunny wake-up call but appreciates afternoon shade. Golden creeping Jenny drapes over the edge of the pineapple-esque pot, and 'Painted Paradise Red' New Guinea impatiens add beautiful dark contrast in flower and leaf. Dramatic palm leaf begonias can be brought indoors as a houseplant at the end of the season.
