Superbells Coral Sun + Diamond Frost Euphorbia in Containers - May 2026

My container design work is average - at best.  I grew up with a red geraniums + spike mom-gardener, so my ability to put together striking containers typically falls short.  Every year, for the past few years, I've included this line in my annual to-do list (this year, it is #16):  "Do better containers."

I have a few back patio containers: two larger patio ones and some smaller ones that go on our stoop.  Last year, I planted a (new to me) trailing flower:  Superbells Coral Sun.  I really liked it.  So this year, when I saw it on the nursery table, I grabbed a few of them.  And, close-by was something else that I like in my containers:  euphorbia.  Diamond Frost from Proven Winners.  

For now, I tucked those two things together in a few smaller containers.  It needs one more thing, but I'll find that in the next few weeks and add it.  For now, here, below is a peek at those containers.

First up is one of them after a day of recovering from planting/being watered-in:

Here are the containers for each:  Two Euphorbia and six Superbells.  I put two Superbells in each of three pots (one of them being a larger container):

Here, below, are two of the smaller containers right after planting and watering-in.  They bounced back after spending some time in the sun in the afternoon:

I'm going to go back to the Luxeumbourg Gardens inspiration for our patio corner container this year.  That leaves the front door and larger patio container to sort-out.  One full-shade. One full-sun.
