Or deck a deck with a hanging basket, dripping with enough jewel-toned blossoms to make Elizabeth Taylor marry it twice ($24.99–$39.99).

For lonesome grounds, the nursery nurses 4-inch bedding plants and herbs, perfect for filling a garden’s dirt-laden bald spots ($1.49–$4.99), and gallon perennials ($5.99–$14.99) return with a flowery vengeance each year.
