Welcome to Modern Agriculture!
Purple and yellow always work well together, and the combination is particularly striking in this pairing of cowslip and anemone.
We’ve used a grey Moroccan trough, but a wooden or terracotta planter would look just a good. Once the display is over, the plants can all be planted out in the garden – both will do well in a cool, shady spot.

Learn how to plant up this cheery cowslip and anemone pot display, below.
Add crocks to the trough to improve drainage, then fill it two-thirds full of compost mixed with water-retaining gel.
Plant the cowslips first, spacing them evenly along the length of the trough and positioning towards the back.
Add the anemones, placing them in the the gaps between the cowslips. Anemones are delicate so take care not to break them when planting.
Water your arrangement and ensure it never dries out. Deadhead faded cowslips to encourage new blooms.
