Low Maintenance Tropical Theme!
Plants Included In Beachside Drive Annual Combination
Tropical sunsets and sunrises are what makes a visit to the beach memorable. The gold tones, streaked with oranges and pinks glow brightly, touching something deep in our souls that makes us feel alive. Flowers can do the same thing, and coupled with the pinks, golds and oranges in the blossoms of this combination of annuals for your container or garden bed, you, too, can create something beautiful to remember.
Beachside Drive Annual Combination Care
Native to South America where they grow in the hot tropical and subtropical regions along the Pacific Ocean, calibrachoa and petunias are grown as full sun to light shade annuals in regions with cold winters. Calibrachoa and petunia are more tropical in their native habitats and scaevola, or fan flower, hails from southern Australia, known for its extremes that vary between hot and cold, dry and rain-soaked. All are heat and drought tolerant making them easy to care for in your container garden. Because of recent improvements in these cultivars, we benefit by their continuous, long blooming habit that is not slowed by the heat of summer nor the occasional droughty period.
Care for calibrachoa, petunia and scaevola involves meeting similar needs: good well draining soil, rich in organic composted matter, full sun to some light afternoon shade, a controlled release fertilizer when first planted, and subsequent applications of a water soluble fertilizer every few weeks. Scaevola is sensitive to high phosphorus fertilizers that can cause yellowing. All of these annuals benefit from allowing the soil in containers or in garden beds to dry out between waterings as they will not tolerate soggy soil.
Beachside Drive Annual Combination Ideas
When creating your hanging basket or patio container with these three annuals, keep in mind that they require up to 12 inches of space between plants and that they will all cascade down the sides of whatever container you plant them in. When purchasing the 4 ¼ inch pot, place the plants close to the edge of the planter to allow them room to grow and then cascade. Use a 12 inch hanging basket or planter for the six plants, alternating them with each color at opposite sides of the circle from each other (see diagram) for best visual presentation. Larger pot size plants may require a larger container so plan accordingly.
While deadheading to remove spent blooms is not needed in these three species of annuals, all three will respond to pinching back once established to promote branching and the production of more flower buds. All three varieties are very vigorous growers and will soon fill your containers
with mounds of flowers. Shear them once or twice during the growing season to help them maintain the shape and compact look that you want. When planting in the ground in your garden, make sure you are able to provide loose well draining soil for the best display and plant health. Plant in the foreground in your garden beds and borders for best presentation.
