I too love using geraniums. I bought two flats. One hot pink and one white. A local nursery sells them for $1 each every year for mother's day. Love your inspiration photos. The pots always do look a little sparse at first, but fill in nicely. Yours will be beautiful!

Now, I've been doing this for years and where have I been, never hearing the "Thriller, filler, spiller" theory. Now that's just a brilliant and easy way to be creative.

I, too, love geraniums! I added in ivy for my spillers and then some little yellow flowers for fillers. I also planted trailing lobelia seeds for more fill and spill. We'll see what they do! In other pots I have solely petunias. I like the idea of planting perennials in pots and then overwintering them, like coreopsis. You certainly get more bang for your buck then!Ellen, the Bluestocking Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328085786533131608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-47160985528155416722015-05-05T23:27:59.945-05:002015-05-05T23:27:59.945-05:00The containers are absolutely gorgeous!

I asked her why in the world would she not want them and her answer was that she would kill them as she was just too busy. So up into the truck went two fabulous pots with huge geraniums. Now to add the fillers, and spillers and I certainly got the thrillers. Thanks for the inspiration on what to add to the mix.One Shabby Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343101661626722420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-91246220053792321682015-05-05T16:17:08.196-05:002015-05-05T16:17:08.196-05:00I love gardening in containers.
