Contain Yourself: Gardening in Containers If your great outdoors is no bigger than a balcony or terrace—or if you have a patio that's begging for a beautiful border—try a container garden for big results with little extra work. From window boxes and traditional pots to hanging baskets, wooden barrels or even a discarded old boot, container gardens come in all shapes and sizes. All they need is:
 So,
where do you start? For answers, we turned to Dr. Jerry Parsons, horticulture
specialist with Texas Cooperative Extension, who agreed to share these great
tips with H-E-B customers.For colorful flowers— Choose perennials that bloom year after year. Or plant annuals, which only grow for one season. For loads of blooms in May & June— Plant begonias, petunias and dianthus annuals from now until June. For summertime color— Plant heat-tolerant annuals in May. The best ones include periwinkles, purslane and portulaca. Shade-loving annuals include impatiens, begonias, caladiums and coleus. For dependable blooms, plant— Early spring bloomers: Daffodil, Bearded Iris, Shasta Daisies, Day Lily Summer bloomers: Blue Shade (Ruellia), Canna, Gladiolas, Lantana, Perennial Phlox, Plumbago, Rosemary, Verbena. 7-8 month bloomers: Autumn Sage, Fire Bush, Blue Sage, Mexican Oregano Tough summer plants: Purslane, Verbena, Marigold, Vinca (periwinkle), Lantana, Fire Bush For more help— Let H-E-B pump up your petals.
