Adding vibrant color with containers

Annette Shrader visits with an accomplished gardener who loves color. She has a talent for selecting plants with gorgeous hues and stellar growth habit, and displays those in containers throughout her outdoor spaces. The long front porch features eye-catching window boxes with a trio of plants. Vignettes are created in spots with using a dozen or more containers in combination. Her design skills are evident in the plant placements and combinations. There are showstopper spots throughout the outdoor spaces.
