Our NEW Entrance Is Taking Shape… Look at the Difference!
Plant fall urns with a central mustard, trailing rosemary, and pansies; keep them watered and use water-soluble fertilizer if pansies fade or flower poorly.
- Layer containers with a central Red Giant mustard, trailing rosemary, and pansies for height, filler, and spillover.
- Remove yellowing or damaged older mustard leaves; keep containers well watered.
- If pansies lose color or bloom poorly in cool weather, use water-soluble—not granular—fertilizer.
The planting demo is useful, but the rest is mainly a progress update on the entrance project. · Best for: Gardeners planting fall and winter containers or refreshing pansies.
The gardener plants matching urns for fall and winter, then shows progress on the garden center entrance fence, gate, and planned berm.
Planting the urn centerpiece2:43
- Use Red Giant mustard as the tall central feature; gently loosen roots if they protrude from the pot.
- Add Matrix Desert Mix pansies around the base as filler.
- Use trailing rosemary and Top Wave Rose Blotch pansies as spillers; arrange some plants toward the back for views from both directions.
Finished planting and care7:05
- Each urn uses one Red Giant, three trailing rosemary, four trailing pansies, and one of each Desert Mix pansy color.
- Pinch off older yellowing or damaged mustard leaves as new foliage continues to grow.
- Water as needed; if pansies or violas look pale or bloom poorly, apply water-soluble fertilizer rather than temperature-released granular fertilizer.
Entrance and landscape progress9:04
- Both urns are planted; one wilts temporarily after moving into afternoon sun and is expected to recover.
- The fence is installed, and the gate was reversed because the road curve prevented it from opening properly in its original direction.
- The plan is to build a berm with native clay-based soil as the foundation, add topsoil, and move the mailbox near the ginkgo for carrier access.
Step by step
- Place one Red Giant mustard near the center of the urn, loosening its roots gently.
- Add pansies around the mustard as filler, choosing colors that complement the trailing pansies.
- Arrange three trailing rosemary plants and four trailing pansies around the edges; include plants toward the back if the urn is visible from behind.
- Water regularly when rain is insufficient, remove aging mustard leaves, and use water-soluble fertilizer if pansies fade or bloom poorly.
