BOOST YOUR HOME’S APPEAL INSTANTLY WITH CONTAINERS OF COLORFUL PLANTS
What’s the best way to generate a positive reaction from buyers – even before they walk through the front door? With attractive, healthy plants located right near the entryway, and there’s no time like spring to make this simple change that can make a major difference in your home’s appeal.
Adding some container plantings to your front porch is a great way to add some color, and it also sends a message that your home is well cared for. For optimal effect, use a mix of upright and trailing plants with both flowers and greenery. Opt for annuals for color all season long. And make sure the container is attractive – don’t simply buy a plastic nursery pot of flowers an plop it on your doorstep. Choose a colorful container that “pops” or one that enhances your home’s style or color scheme. Be sure to water regularly (read the plant labels for complete instructions) and use a plant food supplement designed for container plants.
No green thumb? No eye for color? Buy a pre-planted container from your local nursery or home improvement store for instant plant appeal without any guesswork.
