Celebrate the soft colors of a clear spring morning with pinks, whites, greens, lavenders, and periwinkles. The designers at Squak Mt. have created the ‘Spring Morning’ design to assist you in bringing the expectancy of early spring to your home. All of these plants are grouped together at our nursery to make their selection quick and easy. This recipe is designed for a container about 15-18” wide. Our friendly staff would be pleased to assist you in adding or subtracting plants to fit your pot of any size.
We also have containers pre-planted with this design to allow you to take home instant beauty for your front porch or patio. Plants in this design prefer morning sun and refuge from the afternoon heat, when the weather warms. Come outfit your pots with eye catching style and color at Squak Mt. today.
