Colossal Containers
Less is More! Unless it’s not!

“I want what you did last year, but the budget stays the same.” Sound familiar? Containers could be the solution for you. Offer container plantings as an option for budget-conscious customers. Placing two large, eye-level containers at an entrance creates the appearance of a full landscape for a smaller investment. Container plantings also enable you to offer change outs year-round, giving you more time to spend with customers. Follow the adage of “Less is more” by focusing on 3 to 5 species that match in color, or tone and texture. Mind the watering requirements of the items you combine. Include a few of Ball’s new “More for less” plants from the selections below to show you offer the best “bang for the buck.”
