    Published by Pam Kessler | 132 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 21 Comments

    I know you've all been sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for an update on my festive summer planter I showed you in mid-May.

    Because you all have nothing better to do this summer 🙂

    Summer porch planter with Tropical Rose Canna, Pretty Much Picasso Supertunia and Harvest Burgundy Coral Bells

    It's been coming along.

    The plants are:

    Canna - Tropical Rose - full sun - grows to be 18-30" tall
    Supertunia - Pretty Much Picasso - full sun - trailing habit and 8-12" tall
    Coral Bells (Heuchera) - Harvest Burgundy - part sun (4-6 hrs per day) - 12" tall

    Can you see my pink flamingos in the background?

    Those are the ones the dogs bought me for Mother's Day. Still loving the pink little guys.

    What's better than a bird who sits still for photos? And doesn't poop all over your porch?

    COLORFUL flower combination for your summer porch planter with Tropical Rose Canna, Pretty Much Picasso Supertunia and Harvest Burgundy Coral Bells.

      Your planter looks beautiful, Pam! Love that variety of petunia, and I was just saying yesterday I need to plant some coral bells...

      I love coral bells. I keep meaning to get some, but like everything else, never get around to it. Your planter is gorgeous, Pam!

      I have those same petunias in 2 of my planters and mine look like the wind has torn them to bits. Maybe it has! Yours have already matured into a beautiful arrangement. Could you send a little sun my way, please?

      I just found a vintage straw purse with sequin flamingos on the front. 🙂

      I love seeing how crazy planters can go! I bought that same Petunia with the green edges--thought it was so different. Mine are growing like mad too!

      What a great combination! Love the heuchera's purple leaves against the brightness of the supertina.

      I love those petunias, and the Flamingos. My precious nephews bought me a couple for our anniversary but they have faded in the sun. I plan on finding some flamingo pink spray paint and brighten them up.

      Love the way your planter is flourishing! That's exactly what planters are supposed to do in the Summer 🙂
      Love that petunia. I planted one like it, but mine is not as lush as yours . Hoping it will be 🙂

      Have a great weekend!!

      If you love pink, this Canna is the perfect choice! Deep, crimson-pink blooms add bold color to the summer garden. This deer-resistant beauty thrives in full sun and can be planted both in the garden and containers.
