The Front Porch Container

There was a large container on the front porch when we moved in - I kept waiting for something to pop up...but nothing ever did - so we finally decided to plant it. It's sitting to the right of our front door:


  • Heuchera 'Peach Flambe' Coral Bells. This is the plant in the lower right hand part of the container in the picture.
  • Sedum 'Ogon' Sedum makinoi. This is the plant in the lower left hand part of the container. It is a Zone 7 plant with yellowing flowers in the summer that attract butterflies.
  • Gold Fountains Sedge Carex dolichostachya 'Kaga Nishiki' Great green sedge in the back of the container. It does well in dry conditions - at least better than most sedges do.

  1. Your flowers are lovely - and Mike sends his compliments, too. He commented that it would be worth moving to Portland just for the gardening!
