Gardening with Containers - Instant Beauty

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:25 pm

A good rule of thumb is to select and group your plants in their containers according to the amount of sunlight they will receive. Keep your shade loving and sun loving plants separate in their planters and garden urns. Begin with compact, spreading plants at the edge of the container so that they can drape down over the edges of the pot like a curtain. Choose a tall dramatic plant for the central focal point and use a filler plant in between. There you have it!

You are so right. Only another couple of months and we'll get to plant up the containers. One tall one, the hanging ones and the sweet-smelling fillers in between.

What plants do you use for the "tall ones"?
