FOUR SEASON PLANTERS

Entering its 23rd year, Sweet Dirt has planted thousands of pots. But it just doesn't get old! With new plants varieties to try and the constant joy and challenge of working with color and form, we still love our job. And we take lots of photos. Besides the four slideshows here, check out some specific styles of planting in our new  Trends section. 

    Spring

After months of monochromatic winter, ​who can resist the colors and scents of spring flowers? Cool weather annuals, herbs and perennials can be combined to great effect.

    Summer

The options for summer containers are endless. Whether you prefer a profusion of blooms, something leafy and bold, architectural, tropical, formal or overflowing, ​there are plants combinations to suit every style.

     Autumn

Cabbages, kale, mums, ivy and perennials all thrive in cool autumn temperatures.
Or top your pots with a selection
​ of gourds and pumpkins.
When the days grow shorter in early October it's time for fall plantings.

    Winter

Planters needn't be bare for winter. 
Cut branches last in the cold and there is  an inspiring variety of greens to create beautiful containers. Set against winter's bland palate,
tall branches of birch or curly willow offer architectural interest. Evergreen shrubs are another wonderful choice.
