Even more fun than seeing new plant introductions on their own at California Spring Trials is seeing how they can be used in combinations with other plants. Every nook and cranny of exhibit space usually has a gorgeous mix or combo tucked away in a hanging baskets or container.
The Greenhouse Grower team noticed a trend moving back toward monoculture pots this year, and several displays included colored pots that matched the color of the flowers growing in them.
Enjoy this slideshow of some of the mixes, blends, combo containers, and other creations our team saw at the various spring trials stops.
