Smart Idea

As much as we love pansies and violas, they’re vertically challenged. Give them a lift by perching pots on benches and tables or placing them on your steps. You can also try strawberry jars of varying sizes for added height. Stacking is yet another trick. To do this, fill one large pot with soil almost to the top. Then center a smaller pot on the soil in the larger pot. Add more soil to the larger pot to ensure the smaller pot is snug. Then plant your flowers.
