This Winter planter likes PART SUN which means morning sun and can actually take light afternoon sun during winter. The tall center plant is an arborvitae and that will last long after winter season. It can handle freeze and heat.

Like we always say – H2O is your friend – as long as you don’t give TOO much. What that means is you water when the soil is dry. In winter finger touch the soil at least 2 times a week to check for dryness. If the soil is dry then water until you see water come out of the bottom of the pot. Outside plants dry out the quickest. Do not water if soil is moist.

Before a night-time freeze or cold windy days, make sure the soil is moist.

Pinch back the flower stems as they fade to help promote new blooms. The pulp container is paper waste so the entire insert can be fully composted or thrown away. If you choose to keep the center plant, the arborvitae, plant it in the ground where you do not mind that it will get tall – like 20’ tall!! The yellowy plant (no flowers) is also a echinacea and will develop cool disc shaped flowers towards summer. You can also place that in the ground for year-round growth.
