Patio flower baskets colourscheme

Patio flower baskets can be composed of 2 or three colours in the same colourscheme for a more harmonious effect- as here, with hues in pale lilac, dark purple and white.Think of composing in big clusters of colours.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Members of the viola family, from pansies and johnny-jump-ups to violets, are a sweet edible flower with a hint of wintergreen. Add individual petals to salads, tea sandwiches or cheese; top cupcakes with whole flowers. Candied violets have long held a place of honor in the dessert world, but plain violets can also be added to sugar to infuse it with a delicate flavor.
Window boxes are a lovely and effective means of growing small edible crops like herbs and greens, especially in urban settings with little or no yard. Pictured here are pansies, which have edible flowers.

This window box spilleth over with pansies and Johnny-jump-ups (Viola). White English daisies provide a splash in the middle of the planting. Tip: Try some Johnny-jump-up blooms in your salad for color, flavor and a conversation starter.
added by Jocelyn H. Chilvers to Rocky Mountain Gardener's April Checklist
Plant cold-tolerant annuals in containers as a colorful welcome to spring. Good flower choices include pansies, violas, English daisies, snapdragons and sweet alyssum. Prep any previously used containers by cleaning them thoroughly with a solution of one part bleach to nine parts hot water. Fill your pots with a growing medium made specifically for container gardens, one that's lightweight and well draining yet moisture retentive.

The dried flowers also are very popular, as they extend the life of a plant for quite some time. These are not solely artificial, as they are made from once fresh real flowers.
