Great combos for winter planters

Try some of these combos for planters if you're stuck for ideas at the garden shop... Supreme sky blue pansy with a smaller viola, say Penny orange (an absolute knockout of a color!) mixed with a little curly parsley - simple and effective. More pizazz can be added by using any of the beautiful lettuce varieties now available - a chartreuse green such as Elite Simpson would be a wonderful addition! Want brighter colors? Try Matrix citrus mix - a mix of orange, bright yellow and white pansys, with a bit of rose thrown in to add depth. Remember to think about what will be blooming around your planters in the spring to help you decide color choices. Have fun!
