I pinned it on Pinterest years ago and finally went "ape" at Calloways last week. I had to bring my Angelonia inside as it did not like our sub 50 degree nights that we've had this weekend. I cannot find any yellow esperanza in a bucket smaller than a gallon. Do you find them and if so, where? If not, any suggestions for a yellow, sun-loving thriller that will bloom all summer that doesn't come in shrub size?

Or you could add 'Profusion' Zinnas as the filler, using the Croton as the "thriller." I have also used hot pink or red Pentas as fillers with crotons and they look great. You could do both Esperanza (yellow) and red Pentas. That gets my vote. Have fun!!

I agree, I'd much rather store pots than shoes and why NOT use the walk in closet for just that! LOVE containers, been a lifesaver for me, as I have heavy clay soil that is so difficult here in the midwest.
