A well-designed container garden isn’t just about the flowers—it’s about creating an arrangement that enhances your space. Here’s how:
Follow the “Thriller, Filler, Spiller” Formula
This classic design approach (and one the Garden Market loves) creates balance and visual interest when you’re planting large, focal-point containers:
Thriller: A tall, eye-catching plant as the focal point (e.g., ornamental grasses, dracaena, or salvia).
Filler: Mid-height plants that fill space (e.g., geraniums, coleus, or euphorbia).
Spiller: Trailing plants that cascade over the edges (e.g., million bells, ivy, or sweet potato vine).
Play with Color & Texture
Monochromatic: A single color scheme (e.g., all shades of pink) creates a soothing look.
Complementary Colors: Pair colors that contrast beautifully, such as purple and yellow, or red and white.
Bold & Eclectic: Mix vibrant hues for a cheerful and playful display.
Textural Contrast: Combine leafy, spiky, and delicate blooms for depth and dimension.
Group Containers for Impact
Instead of scattering individual pots, arrange them in clusters at varying heights for a more dynamic effect. Use plant stands, wooden crates, or tiered shelving to create levels.
