Entertaining this summer? Welcome guests with these plant-centric outdoor entertaining tips.

  1. Grow herbs and lemons to use fresh on the grill or BBQ. Cut rosemary can be tossed directly onto BBQ coals, or used as skewers to perfume and flavor grilled foods.
  2. Freshen up patio containers with colorful annuals or take home one of our pre-made hanging baskets or color planters.
  3. Add patio color with bright summer pottery.
  4. Plant night blooming fragrant plants around the patio. Choose plants with grey foliage or white flowers for better night visibility. Brugmansia, Helichyrsum petiolare, Dusty Miller, English lavender, Nicotiana, Four O’ Clocks, Gardenia, Stachys Bello Grigio, Silver Carpet, Lamium with Silver variegated foliage. Hosta with white variegation, Salvia argentea, and Artemisia.
