This pink, perky display produces a contemporary feel, with the contrasting dark leaves bringing some drama to the arrangement.
To keep the container looking good, water it regularly and remove the blooms as they fade for a display that will perform until the first frosts of autumn. Place it in full sun or partial shade.
