Three’s a Charm Grubb chose a trio of plants that are interesting on their own—feathery Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’, sculptural Aloe plicatilis, and Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’— and potted them in complementary rust-colored and white containers to make a cohesive group.
SITTING PRETTY Plants in containers have small footprints but make a big, beautiful impression. They’re a welcome sight at a front door, bring life to a back patio, and can even serve as a lush centerpiece on an outdoor table. Flora Grubb, owner of the eponymous nursery in San Francisco, shares her tips on creating and caring for potted displays, from choosing striking plant combinations to keeping them hydrated and happy.
