Squak Mt.’s 2015 Summer Container Design
Paint with brush strokes of pinks, yellows, purples, and corals as your summer containers celebrate summer. Inspired by sunsets in the high desert of central Oregon, as the sky gives one last glorious burst of color setting the mountains on fire, our designers are pleased to present our 2015 summer design.
All of the plants in this container recipe are sun loving summer annuals that we grow in our greenhouses. We recommend full sun or afternoon sun exposure for this design. For your convenience, all of the items in this recipe are displayed together at Squak Mt., to make their selection quick and easy. Size and number of plants can be adapted for any size pot. The quantities listed here fit a pot approximately 16-18” in diameter.
We also have pre-planted containers with this recipe so that you may take them home complete, and ready to enjoy. Our friendly staff would be pleased to assist you further as you celebrate the vibrant tones of mountain sunsets on your porch or patio.
