In thisfull - sun containerdesigned by BHG Test Garden coach Sandra Gerdes , ‘ Aladin ’ curry plant ’s upright form and fine - grain leave act as a transparency for two spilling herb : ‘ Tricolor’sage , with its over-embellished - and - silver leafage , and delicate ‘ Silver Queen’thyme .

Silver Two Ways
Gerdes shows off two side to silver ’s personality in these two container arrangements .

In the lower container , Ag direct on a softer expression — and feel — with the velvety go out oflicorice plant , ' Angel Wings ’ senecio , and ‘ Mori ’s Strain’artemisia ; dainty ‘ pinkish Chablis ’ genus Lamium flower contribute a touch of colour . The top pot isbest for shade , while the bottom one prosper in full sun .

Three patterns make this container an particularly prominent jazz band : The rind - like stripes of the aptly namedwatermelon peperomia , the tight spiral of ‘ Jurassic Jr. Arctic Twist ’ rex begonia , and the geometric chevron of the container itself . What ties them all together is the silver luster that jumps from one pattern to the next . Place in part to full shade .
Clouds of Silver

Here , Gerdes created an airy , cohesive container with frail , shimmering flowers ofalyssumand ‘ Glitz’euphorbia , pappa of pale purple ‘ Starfish ’ petunia flower , gentle mound of velvety artemisia , and trailing ash grey tendrils ofdichondra . The result is a pleasing cloud of bloodless , atomic number 47 , and lavender .
