It seems that spring has finally arrived and it is time to start planting flowers.  Some flowers that work well in a large garden urn would be wave petunias and dragon wing begonias.  For a contrast of color you can add a few sweet potato vines.  All of these flowers will enjoy lots of sunlight.

When choosing a container for planting there are many options but cast iron urns often work best because they will endure the elements and give an antique look that will fit in with any décor.  Planting flowers can be a family event so have fun with it.
