Great plantings around a farmers market
Cherry Ong lately visited Seattle ’s Pike Place Market , which is a famous farmers market ; however , she was focused not on the overbold produce for sale , but on the beautiful planting .
This garden layer with the Corten blade edging is locate by the Market Pavilion and overlooks the water . The bed is everything you would want in a summertime garden — bold , spicy , and full of color and vigor .
Huge caster beans ( Ricinuscommunis , Zones 9–11 or as an annual ) dominate the planting here with bold , moody parting and showy red developing seeds .
A morning glory ( Ipomoeapurpurea , one-year ) has been rail to grow as a knoll of foliation sprinkled with beautifulpurpleblooms that will fade in the afternoon .

Petunias ( Petuniahybrids , zone 9–11 or as an yearly ) are blooming amid sweet potato vines ( Ipomoeabatatas , Zone 10–12 or as an annual . The dark sugared white potato vine leafage reach the genus Petunia prime beam .
Spotted bee balm ( Monardapunctata , Zones 4–9 ) . Mostbee balmsare grow for their showy flowers , but on this mintage , the flowers are small-scale and almost unnoticeable compare to the great , beautiful , lily-white - and - pinkish bract that beleaguer them .
Though not technically petals , these brachts perform the same occasion — attractingpollinators .
A cluster of helianthus ( Helianthusannuus , annual ) not yet in salad days still cater great beauty thanks to their sheer leaf .
Brilliant gold sweet-flavored potato vine and blue sea holly ( Eryngiumsp . )
A big mend of marigold ( Tagetespatula , annual ) brings vivid color to this bed . Marigolds are among the easiest and heaviest - floweringannualsyou can grow .

Another pay heed basket , with almost the same industrial plant , gives a all unlike feel without the crimson petunias .
