Furniture as Plant Holders | Ideas

We all probably have old furniture items sitting in sheds or other places.

These are great items to create a unique look and feel for areas when used as planters. Imagination can go wild when using these items and can brighten an area up with color.

There may be an old dresser or an old desk that will not work if it can be restored. These items can be painted in very bright colors if the homeowner likes.

They can be kept looking old and worn. These items make great plant holders, and you can also plant plants right into the drawers of these items.

They will make an area look very personal and unique in every way. You can also add decals to these items that will make them look unique in specific areas. These are great to place on a deck or patio and look fabulous on a huge porch. The drawers of a dresser can be staggered, and you can add potting soil to each drawer.

You can add colorful plants and flowering plants to the drawers. Also, vines would look beautiful added to the drawers, and they would flow down the front as they began to grow. Holes can also be cut in the tops of dressers or desks to place flower pots in to be flowers and plants on the top of the item. One can use ivy, perennials, and other plants to help add color.

A great place to order plants and flowers, like the Jewelweed is from, is an online plant nursery. These are great because they will give growing information such as soil conditions and lighting conditions needed for each plant ordered.

They will also ship and ensure the plants arrive in healthy condition. You can also purchase these plants in large quantities, so the homeowner will be sure to have the right amount of plants needed to fill areas.

Oxeye Daisy - TN Nursery

Oxeye Daisy

Oxeye Daisy is a perennial wildflower with white, daisy-like flowers featuring yellow centers and deeply lobed leaves, often found in meadows and fields, adding charm to natural landscapes. It's known for its radiant white petals and sunny yellow center. It is a charming perennial with numerous landscaping benefits. Its innate qualities make it a popular choice among gardeners and landscapers alike. Oxeye Daisy, which blooms single or in clusters from May through September, can reach a height of three feet on their tall, thick individual stems. The flowers they produce are multiple flowers in one. 15 to 35 white (ray flower) petals surround the flower head, which consists of 400 to 500 yellow disk flowers. This flower's distinctive feature is its enormous, spherical blossom head. Each bloom can reach up to three inches in diameter. When full-grown, these plants can get up to two feet wide. Once established, you'll likely always have daisies since they are so good at self-seeding. Oxeye Daisy Has Unique Foliage  This plant has dark green, spoon-shaped leaves that taper into narrow, serrated ones as they grow up the stem. The enormous leaves appear around the plant's base; they are about six inches long and two inches wide and have as many as 15 lobed edges. The top leaves are thin, alternately placed, and sometimes clasp against the stem. These clasping leaves, which are one to four inches long, also have lobed edges. Typically, a leaf's number of teeth or lobed edges increases as it grows higher on the stalk. Save The Pollinators With Oxeye Daisy The oxeye daisy is the most significant type. Pollen and nectar found in these flowers are essential for the survival of several pollinating insects, such as moths, beetles, butterflies, hoverflies, and beetles. The male disk flowers emit a ring of yellow pollen around the periphery, while the many tiny flowers that compose the flower's yellow center contain nectar. Adding these flowers to your yard or garden is a perfect way to lure pollinators and increase their biodiversity. Oxeye Daisy Attracts Good Bugs These plants are magnets for good bugs, such as pollen-feeding beetles, which eat nasty bugs like aphids. Animals like cattle stay away from areas with these flowers because they irritate the wildlife's lips, nostrils, and legs. These characteristics make the plant an excellent form of pest and wildlife control.
