Outdoor seasonal touches set a festive tone that can be extended and amplified throughout the home’s interior décor. Perfect for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, or all summer long, home and lifestyle expert Kathryn Packard is showing us how to create easy and elegant red, white and blue plantings that are as bright and cheerful as fireworks!
American as apple pie and as sweet as summertime, the classic “red, white and blue” is a captivating combination of colors. Kathryn accents the pleated fan flags on the front of the 1990s Southern Living Idea House she calls home with red, white and blue plantings that energize her entryway.
For her red, white, and blue theme, Kathryn uses towering planters with
Diamond Spire Gardenia as the star of the show. Its fragrant white blooms shine like stars in the flag, and its vertical growth habit makes it perfect for planters.
