Blue Nostalgia

The pale shingled wall of an old-fashioned porch forms the perfect backdrop for a pair of blue ceramic pots filled with equally old-fashioned blooms. Given basic care, these trouble free performers will strut their stuff all summer long. The cast includes geraniums, petunias, sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima), common heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens), and daisies.
