Pansy Container

Choose a container with an opening that is at last 12-14 inches wide. Use a pot with a drainage hole for best watering practices.

Place a Keeper Stopper screen cover over the drainage hole first to prevent dirt from spilling out. Fill about 2/3 of the container with Dr. Earth Pot of Gold Potting Soil.

Mix 3/4 of a cup of Dr. Earth's Root Zone organic starter fertilizer. This helps prevent transplant shock and gives new plants a jumpstart on growth.

Place the ornamental cabbage in the center of the container as the centerpiece.

Place the snapdragons in the back behind the ornamental cabbage as the "thrillers".

Add more potting soil around the roots of the cabbage and snapdragons so that the remaining smaller plants won't sink too far down into the pot. The top of all the plants' rootballs should be level in the pot.

Plant the pansies around the larger plants as "fillers".

Add the creeping jenny as the "spiller" close to the container edge.

Fill in any spaces with potting soil as needed and then water. Water at the soil level (never overhead - this encourages disease). When water starts to drain from the bottom, stop and let the pot drain completely. You're done!
