Use the ‘Thriller, Filler, Spiller’ planting concept from Proven Winner plants for upscale combination planters!<\/p>\n

\"Proven<\/a>Thriller<\/h1>\n

Thrillers are taller plants that add vertical drama to a container planting.\u00a0 They can be flowering plants, foliage plants or even ornamental grasses.\u00a0 For containers that will be viewed from all angles, place the thriller in the middle.\u00a0 For containers that will only be viewed from the front, place the thriller in the back.\"Proven<\/a><\/p>\n

Filler<\/h1>\n

Next, it\u2019s time to add your filler plants.\u00a0 Fillers are rounded or mounded plants that are placed around or in front of the thrillers.\u00a0 Place the fillers mid-way between the planter edges and the thriller to leave room for the spiller.\u00a0 Some great filler options include Diamond Frost euphorbia, petunias, calibrachoa, and many more!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Proven<\/a>Spiller<\/h1>\n

Add the spillers next!\u00a0 Plant spillers around the edges of the container; all the way around if it will be viewed from all angles or around the front if it will only be viewed from the front.\u00a0 Spiller options include sweet potato vine, ivy, bacopa, vinca vine and that is just to name a few!\u00a0 Water the container well right after planting.<\/p>\n

\"Thriller<\/a>Done!<\/h1>\n

The Thriller in this container is Angelface Blue angelonia, Filler is Supertunia Bordeaux petunia, and Spiller is Illusion Emerald Lace sweet potato vine!\u00a0 Other key tips include using Good Earth brand potting soil (yes, it really is better than the more famous yellow and green bags of soil), use Good Earth brand Jump Start at planting, check soil moisture often and fertilize with BR-61 for amazing blooms!\u00a0 The annuals mentioned and the images are from Proven Winners; a great line of successful annuals that we carry here at The Good Earth!\u00a0 Check out our Pinterest board called ‘Combination Planters’ for more ideas and read our container gardening blog post<\/a> for more planting tips!<\/p>\n
