2026 Summer Container Recipe
Ignite your senses with vibrant blooms and foliage tones when you plant this container recipe created by the designers at Squak Mt. Greenhouses. Our staff began planting summer annuals in December in our greenhouses. The very first plants were started from tiny cuttings, that we carefully nurtured to form healthy roots. Later they were transplanted into their individual growing pots. As spring approaches our talented team is always excited to express their artistic skills, as they match different textures and colors into combination hanging baskets and containers. Having created thousands of combinations over the years, our team has amassed vast experience in creating attractive, unique designs.
For 2026, vivid colors of violet, orange and magenta have been sprinkled with white to help you celebrate the warmth of summer.
The designers at Squak Mt. invite you to plant our exclusive container design in a container approximately 14-16” in diameter.
Plant in full or strong afternoon sun and celebrate the heat all summer long.
These summer annuals are displayed in our glass greenhouse as you walk in the green doors to make their selection easy. In addition we have pre-planted this recipe in pots so may have instant impact on your deck or front entrance. If you need assistance our friendly staff can assist you in altering the recipe to fit any size container you may desire.
