Following on from last week’s wintry themed episode on containers, this week we’re setting our sights on the summer ahead, on what’ll bring colour to your pots at the season’s peak.

Josie’s absolute burning passion is containers, and this week she gives her plant picks for pots taking us through summer and autumn.

Join us on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ as we delve into the ‘thriller, filler, pillar, spiller’ method for arranging containers, which combinations have stood out in their trials, and how to gently treat your flowers for maximum impact.

In this episode, discover:

• The “thriller, filler, pillar, spiller” secret to building showstopping containers that brim with colour and texture right through summer to autumn
• Sarah and Josie’s favourite plants that promise to lift your pots from simple to spectacular
• How to keep blooms coming with gentle, tried-and-true maintenance tips, from deadheading tricks to overwintering
• Plant pairings and playful combinations, perfect for either grand displays or tiny terraces
