DIY Patriotic Flower Planters

With Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day all happening just a few months apart, I decided to create flower pots for my front porch to last the entire patriotic season!

I recently updated my welcome mat to one that had a monogram initial of our last name. I love how clean and simple it looks and the bright pops of color from the flowers and the patriotic wreath that I made last year.

I’m like a kid in the candy store at my local nursery and always purchase too many plants for whatever project I need. Whatever is left goes into my planter boxes in the backyard which further affirms my belief that there is no such thing as too many flowers!

When I plant arrangements like these I break all of the rules. I crowd my flowers together leaving them very little room to spread out. I don’t anticipate these lasting more than a few months since the majority are annuals so to me they are more of a flower arrangement than a garden planter.

I start out by breaking up the root membrane on each plant, then begin arranging them in my pot.

Alternating between red, white, and blue flowers with pops of greenery.

I added a few nasturtiums to trail along the edges and then gave them each a good watering!

What patriotic colored flowers would you?
