Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, was practically hand-picked for Valentine’s Day celebrations. If you're looking to add this romantic new hue to your garden or porch, the holiday of love is the perfect time to do it!
We've got three perfect planter combos starring your favorite red and pink Encore Azaleas. Pick one for your porch and watch these "block stars" shine all spring long:
Cupid’s Cluster: Gather together three containers, each planted with a red- or pink-hued Encore Azalea such as Autumn Rouge®, Autumn Carnival®, Autumn Coral® or Autumn Bonfire®.
Red & White Wonder: Combine Autumn Rouge® with white or other light-hued flowers such as white tulips or pink creeping phlox.
Bring Azaleas Indoors: Create a floral arrangement using clipped branches of any red- or pink-flowered Encore, forcing them to bloom with the warmth indoors.
Read on to learn the how-tos of forcing branches and the added touches to create a planter you'll love this Valentine’s Day!
