Want to add instant color and curb appeal to your home? Few landscape features make a bigger impact than professionally designed container plantings.
Whether they’re placed at your front entry, along a walkway, or on a patio, decorative containers create beautiful focal points and bring seasonal color exactly where it’s needed.
The Secret to Great Container Design
Professional designers often follow a simple formula:
Thriller. Filler. Spiller.
- Thriller plants add height and drama, such as Purple Fountain Grass, Cordyline, or Canna Lilies.
- Filler plants provide color and fullness. Popular choices include Vinca, Angelonia, Begonias, Pentas, and Profusion Zinnias.
- Spiller plants soften the edges and trail over the container. Sweet Potato Vine, Calibrachoa, and Wave Petunias are summer favorites.
The combination creates a balanced, layered design that looks polished and professional.
