May marks the start of prime gardening season. With the last frost behind us and longer, sunnier days ahead, it’s the ideal time to get your hands in the dirt and breathe new life into your outdoor space.
Now is the time to swap out tired winter displays for vibrant spring blooms. Use May as a chance to fill your Tusco planters with colorful annuals like petunias, marigolds, geraniums, and calibrachoa. Mix trailing and upright varieties for a layered look, and choose complementary colors to brighten up patios, porches, and entryways.
Herbs are one of the easiest and most rewarding additions to any garden. In May, it’s safe to plant basil, parsley, mint, cilantro, and thyme outdoors. Use a medium-sized Tusco planteror group several together for a compact, attractive herb station near your kitchen door or on a sunny patio.
Help out the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds by planting pollinator-friendly flowers in containers. Look for lavender, coneflower, salvia, zinnias, and bee balm. Not only will you support local ecosystems, but you’ll also enjoy the added beauty and movement of visiting wildlife.
Many houseplants thrive outdoors during the warmer months. May is an ideal time to give them fresh soil and more room to grow. Repot popular plants like monstera, pothos, or snake plants, then place them in shaded or partially sunny spots on your porch or deck.
Short on space? Try going up! Vertical gardening is trendy, space-saving, and perfect for smaller patios or balconies. Stack Tusco’s tall planters or mount a vertical wall of potted herbs and flowers. You’ll add texture and dimension to your outdoor area in no time.
