Take your gerber daisies out of their nursery pots and place them in the railing box. Then surround them with your dusty miller plants, evenly spaced. Fill with potting soil, making sure to fill any holes between your plants. Gently tamp down soil with your fingers. For ease of watering, the level of soil should be at least half an inch below the edge of the box.
