The Benefits of Container Gardening

Container gardening is an excellent way to grow flowers and vegetables, especially for people who love to garden but don’t have the room. Any patio, deck, or balcony can be brightened with flowers in containers and they extend a warm welcome to all that come to visit.
Colorful pots can also be placed among groundcovers under trees, for color in a situation where trying to grow flowers in the ground would be impossible. Hanging baskets of flowers can be casually strewn in trees, suspended by nylon rope or chain, or hung from the roof of your porch or balcony. By growing plants in containers, you can bring color into the areas where you spend the most time outside – instead of “way out there” in the garden!
Three basic rules to follow when container gardening:
1. Thrillers:Begin with the tallest plant in the container, the one that is your center of interest- something big and bold: plants 18" and up. |
2. Spillers:Fill it out with any plant with a trailing habit.
|
3. Fillers:Add foliage or flowering plants that will complement, but not overwhelm: mid size plants 6" – 12." |
