Scaevola Bombay Dark Blue, Red Wave Petunias and Creeping Jenny in Containers - July 2024

Moving on from the pair of stoop containers (small ones), we now look at the pair of larger, back patio containers.  #7 on my 2024 to-do list was to 'do better containers' - and these two are the largest of the bunch and that means can have the biggest impact.  Are these perfect?  Nope.  Not by a lot.  Are they better than last year?  I think so.  

Here, below, is a look at both of them side-by-side.  There's Creeping Jenny cascading down in both.  Red Wave Petunias are dotted in both.  The corner container has Orange Zinnias.  And the round one has the (new to me) Scaevola 'Bombay Dark Blue flower that has spread out and added some nice color.  

Below is a closer look at the Scaevola 'Bombay Dark Blue - from The Growing Place.  

Here's a look at all three working together - with the Wave Petunias in bloom (last week).

The Creeping Jenny was a hold-over from last year and overwintered in teh containers.  Here, below, is a look at these a month ago when I just had the Red Petunias in:

Below are a couple of labels:

They're BOTH missing a 'THRILLER', but the Elephant Ears didn't materialize this year.
