Cute Flower Pots

And if you love a perennial that isn’t quite suited to your hardiness zone, growing it in a container means you can simply move it indoors when temperatures dip. These are some of my most popular container gardening posts! We have to get a winter/Christmas planter into this post, right? Let me show you my fall container garden from last year.

Abstract cement planters.

Bringing home new plants is a simple way to add a splash of color and character to your house, porch, back patio, or deck, especially when those plants are potted in the perfect container. To add a modern touch to those wonderful ceramic planters, you can use some acrylic paints and just draw some lines or color the edges with some bright, vivid colors. This project involves making small planters from yogurt containers instead of using pots. If your plants are on the bigger side, the largest pot in this trio of black planters with elegant gold stands is 12 inches wide — a perfect size for that ever growing bird of paradise.

This beloved herb brings form and fragrance to the container garden. ‘Seashell’ also brings large baby pink flowers on tall, sturdy stems. Because of their full flowers, peonies may need to be staked or caged. Grow these beauties in a pot or container for up-close appreciation. The dreamy peony flower is among the most scrumptiously gorgeous in the Wonderful Flower Pots garden.

Summer Snapdragons (Angelonia angustifolia)

Dahlias prefer full sun but can tolerate some afternoon shade. They are easy to grow and require little maintenance. Like some plants on this list, African and Marguerite Daisies are tender perennials often sold as annuals. They can be cut back after blooming to encourage another flush or two of flowers. Perennial plants live for more than two years and often come back year after year.

That's why we're sharing the best indoor plant pots to keep your plant babies vibrant and full of life. The good news is that there's a perfect pot for every plant (and plant-parent). Ideal to bring colour and interest to areas in semi-shade, begonias thrive in pots of peat-free multi-purpose compost. They grow best in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade.

Flower pot ideas for patio spaces are many and varied. Plant them in a container with well-draining soil and water them regularly. Summer is a great time to create vibrant and lush container gardens.

• Monitor the pH levels of the earth closely, as well as maintaining them in a container often requires increased doses of fertilizer.
• The best thing about this classy planter is that you can customize it to hold any size bowl or pot that you want to hang.
• These natural formations provide ideal habitats for alpine plants and small flowers.
• There are flower containers made to look like stone statues of animals.
• These pink planters have a fun textural element—a ’70s-esque rainbow pattern engraved into each one.

Even if you’re short on time, low-maintenance succulents or trailing ivy can thrive with minimal effort, bringing life to your workspace or bedside table. This is the season when gardens come alive, and even the smallest apartment can be infused with the vibrancy of nature. As summer reaches its peak in July, the urge to bring the outdoors in—or extend your living space out—feels especially inviting.

Here is a pretty close-up of this succulent garden in the morning sun. I share exactly how I put this birdbath together as a planter. Sometimes a plant is a thriller because it is the center of attention due to its color, or something unusual.
