Oh, that's fabulous, Laura. I love how you got that structure in there while still keeping it subtle. This is so helpful to see, I can't tell you. And the Dichondra -- I'd have thought it was too delicate to go with such a structured plant, but I think keeping it almost monotone makes it work. And, my goodness, Dichondra is such an incredible almost magical plant. I just started using it in containers this year (due to a certain someone. Been gardening for 30 years, but never made a container until this year. :o Thank you.

seriously?
Consider relocating it in your white moon garden! The silvers blues and grays and sassy texture belongs with a formal boxwood hedge. Beautiful striking texture in your choice of the yucca but you backdropped this deliciously spiky varigated plant with the very busy varigated expanse of a red dogwood and the fluffy fern-y foliage of the elderberry which in my opinion gets lost by the competing textures. Your pedestaled pot and its arrangement needs to be a showcase feature which where its at, seems lost in the shadows.

A tip for planting a spiky plant is to take the plant out the pot. Put the pot in the planter and plant the pot and pack soil around said pot. Take the pot out, which leaves a perfect impression of the pot, then slip the plant into the impression and you haven't disturbed roots or scratched yourself.

FYI, I had a pot on a pillar like that and it wouldn't drain when it was sitting on that flat top like that. Caused a big water log issue. So I ended up having to put some tiles under it to raise it up off the top of the flat pillar top a little bit to make some air space to allow for drainage.

Im so glad I came across this video! I have seen so many of these plants with beautiful white bell like blooms on tall spires planted out in landscapes around my central connecticut area and had no idea what they were. Theyre yucca! I think the blooms on them are just stunning.

Dichondra silver falls is one of the most beautiful plants that I've ever grown. It has the most vibrant color in person & when the light shines on it just right, it's stunning! It can be paired with just about anything & really stands out!

I have an odd question for you. Do you have products you use on your hands after a day of gardening? I typically dont wear gloves and the dirt stains and dries out my hands. Just curious if you use any products to help with gardening hands.

Yikes! Yucca, its thorns, and small children at eye-height do not work. Actually even for adults - I speak from experience when I was a teenager in Florida. Love, love the pot and column, but with something less potentially piercing.
