Flowers in pots, tubs, and half barrels add appeal to any garden, but wholesale nursery pots gardening can also serve a practical purpose. Pot gardening is ideal for those who have limited garden space. Gardeners with a balcony, a small yard, or only a patch of sun on their driveway can grow a wide variety of vegetable crops in containers, in addition to flowers. Basil, chives, thyme, and other herbs thrive in pots, which can be placed in a convenient location right outside the kitchen door.
Nursery pots gardening adds versatility to both large and small gardens. Plants add instant color, serve as a focal point in the garden, or connect the house’s architecture to the garden. Place them on the ground or on a pedestal, hang them from your porch, or mount them on a windowsill. Container gardening on a deck or patio can add color and ambiance to such outdoor sitting areas, while a pair of matching wholesale nursery pots on either side of the front walk serves as a welcoming decoration.
For outdoor decoration, you can use single, large, and wholesale nursery pots, but you should also consider arranging groups of pots, both small and large, on stairwells, terraces, or anywhere in the garden. Clusters of pots can feature a collection of favorite plants, such as hen-and-chicks or herbs used for both ornament and cooking, or they can feature annuals, dwarf evergreens, perennials, or any other plants you’d like to try. Houseplants that spend the summer outdoors in the shade are also a lovely addition to container gardening. Window boxes and hanging baskets provide even more opportunities to add color and appeal.
Containers planted with a single species — rosemary or a bold variegated ornamental grass, for example — can be stunning garden accents. Containers planted with a mix of plants are fun to create and offer almost unlimited combinations. The best combinations depend on plants that feature handsome foliage and flowers produced over a long bloom season. One easy guideline for choosing the plants to combine in a container is to include “a thriller, a spiller, and a filler.” That translates to at least one focal-point plant (the thriller), such as coleus or a geranium with multicolored leaves, for example, combined with several plants that spill over the edge of the pots, such as petunias, bacopa, creeping zinnias, or ornamental sweet potatoes.
