Early Riser lifts containers out of the ordinary with a cool‑toned trio that never quits. Satin‑silver streamers of Dichondra argentea Silver Falls™ tumble over the rim, Supertunia Vista® Snowdrift™ piles pure‑white petunia flowers from May to frost, and Rockin’® Blue Suede Shoes™ salvia stakes a sky‑blue spire in the center to draw every passing hummingbird. By midsummer the planting reaches about 10 inches along the edges while the salvia tops out near three feet, giving the arrangement an eye‑catching tiered silhouette. Color peaks in late spring and keeps rolling through summer heat straight into fall.

Silver Falls brings desert toughness, the petunia shrugs off heat and light frosts, and the sterile salvia blooms without pause—no seed set, no slowdown. Deer turn up their noses, but bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds swarm the nectar‑rich spikes. The habit reads thriller‑filler‑spiller right out of the box, so drop the six plants into one pot, line a sunny railing with several combos, or mass them at the front of a border for a moon‑lit glow in evening light.

Early Riser Combination Care

Plant into a 14–16 inch container filled with peat‑based, well‑drained mix charged with compost. Give the pot six or more hours of direct sun—morning sun with light afternoon shade works in hot regions. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry; allow excess to drain, especially for Silver Falls, which dislikes soggy roots. Feed every other week with a balanced liquid fertilizer and shear the petunia and dichondra lightly in midsummer to encourage fresh branching.

Rockin’ Blue Suede Shoes grows as a tender perennial in USDA Zones 9‑11 and can overwinter indoors under bright lights; elsewhere treat the combo as an annual display that persists until hard frost. Petunias and salvia flower nonstop, while dichondra’s foliage stays silvery until temperatures dip into the low forties.

Early Riser Combination Spacing

For one showpiece basket or patio bowl, use all three components: one salvia in the center, one Vista Snowdrift just inside the rim, and a single Silver Falls at the edge. Plant additional recipes 18 inches apart along large troughs or raised beds to create a seamless silver‑and‑blue ribbon. When potting, choose a container at least 2 inches wider than the current root balls to give trailing stems room to cascade.
