Martha Stewart only planted this one flower around her Turkey Hill garden – her unusual method stops things from feeling 'a little confusing'

There is always a case for experimenting with variously hued flowers in your garden, but it doesn't always need to be this way. In recently resurfaced archival footage, Martha explains why she's filling her urns with one single flower (Campanula carpatica), and her reasons make just as much sense today.

'So many of the big, mixed pots that one sees at garden centers are very beautiful, and they’re fun to watch, [and sometimes] planting a single plant might be a big repetitious or a little boring to you. But when you have an entire garden like this, sometimes a mixed pot or container looks a little confusing. That’s why we’re doing our garden experiment,' Martha says.
