These lilies reminded me that sometimes, we forget that bulbs can do well in pots – particularly lilies (um…Easter lilies grow in pots, right?) which inspired me to write a pot about some container ideas. It was surprisingly easy to come up with 25 – maybe I should have done 50 ideas?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Last weekend, I spotted this black plastic rain barrel at Home Depot – so for $19.99 I had an instant pond. With a little duck weed and water hyacinth, the feature provided me with some dimension and reflection where before, just a few pots sat in a rather boring arrangement. Now, I added more containers around the tub and suddenly, I have a new garden where the magnolia tree once stood.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n1.<\/b><\/span> Use upside-down clay pots to<\/b> elevate potted plants <\/b>when you display pots in a
\ngroup – plants just look better when you create height in a container garden. 2.<\/b> <\/span>Add a water feature<\/b> \u2013 even
\nif it is a small one. A large bowl or even better, a tub of water amongst your containers will add
\nreflection and interest ( try adding some aquatic plants to it too!). 3.<\/b> <\/span><\/span>Paint your stakes<\/b> using a dip method or with
\nstripes created with masking tape. A bright, coral and light blue colored tip might help you avoid poking your eye while weeding. 4.<\/b><\/span> Here is a care-tip that even I sometimes fail with –water each container wel<\/b>l – then water them again – Don’t believe me? Water well, and then gently remove the pot and see how far down you actually soaked the rootball\u2026..I go at least 3 times, then check
\nfor dryness by removing rootball \u2013 you\u2019d be surprised how long you have to
\nwater a potted plant before the water soaks all the way through.

A few tips are demonstrated here – houseplants, tropicals, succulents, vegetables and bulbs in containers with the pot of Eucomis or Pineapple lily. Mix it up and see what happens!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/b><\/span>
\n5.<\/b><\/span> Ordinary houseplants when used outside are refreshingly different<\/b> – like when you sit in a cushy upholstered sofa on a shady lawn at an antiques show, when moved outdoors, things change with our perspective. Try placing houseplants amongst your potted annuals, (don’t forget to acclimate them first!) and the same goes for
\nperennials – a pot of blooming delphinium fresh from the nursery can be set in a container for a few weeks for display purposes, until you have time to plant them out in the border.
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Containers are very forgiving with what one plants in them, so don’t always feel as if you must keep succulents away from tropicals, and annuals away from succulents. I love to combine shrubs, with perennials, bulbs with succulents, and tropicals with vegetables. You never know when  combination is going to look awesome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\n6.<\/b><\/span> Set pots of tropical s in your perennial beds to fill temporary
\ngaps – a tub of Phormium or New Zealand Flax can really elevate a tired bed of peonies and iris, once they’ve done their duty. 7.<\/b><\/span> Plant some containers with herbs<\/b> to keep near your kitchen door to actually pick  – I mean, right next to it\u2013 great for
\nstormy days when taking a trip to the raised bed only means mud, and wet hair. 8.<\/b><\/span> Try dwarf vegetables in containers<\/b> like dwarf squash and
\ncucumbers \u2013 they are fantastic, and sometimes produce as much, if not more than
\nstandard varieties. 9.<\/b><\/span> Mix-it-up with insane color combinations <\/b>with all sorts of
\nplants, my current favorite \u2013 steel, grey and silver with black. 10.<\/b><\/span><\/span> Grow trees
\nin containers<\/b>, especially Japanese maples and black pines, they can last years
\non your deck without protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Summer bulbs in pots provide instant and portable color, and few do as nicely as true lilies. These are just some bulbs that I bought on sale at our local garden center – they were marked down because the stems were already emerging a bit too early, so I bought all of them, and potted them up. After they bloom, I will plant them out into the garden.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

11.<\/b><\/span> Add twinkle lights to potted shrubs and
\ntrees in the summer \u2013 why wait until the Holidays when you can\u2019t sit outside at
\nnight? 12.<\/b><\/span> Pot up summer bulbs for portable wow<\/b> \u2013 try gladiolus, lilies and
\nPineapple Lilies for something different. Go more botanical and pot up Sparaxis corms or rain lilies. 13.<\/span> Pots are transportable, so feel
\nfree to rearrange containers frequently<\/b>, why not? They are portable for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I use tiered structures made with concrete blocks and boards, where I can display collections of like-plants. Here, fuschia’s being trained as standards, along with pelargoniums. Elsewhere, I display begonias.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/b><\/span>
\n14.<\/b><\/span> Display plants as if you are at Chelsea<\/b> – display a collection on a set of fake set of stairs using concrete blocks and boards \u2013  Boom! Instant display. I display about 20 pots of standard
\nfuchsia\u2019s this way, or a collection of begonias, and I have a friend who displays his agave collection this way. 15. <\/b><\/span>Add portable solar lighting to each pot<\/b> \u2013 the same sort
\nused for walks. Shove one  in each plant, and let them shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Can’t afford garden sculpture? Useful items can be artistic and interesting too, like this kettle bell, which serves two purposes – it reminds me that I need to work out on summer mornings, and it looks pretty cool with all of my steel and galvanized containers and grey plants.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

16.<\/b><\/span> Pots don\u2019t need to be clay or plastic, be creative, try
\nplanting in odd and surprising containers<\/b> – plastic canvas shopping bags, felt stitched bags or even giant,
\noversized tin cans from when you made that purchase of tomatoes at the big box
\nstore. 17. <\/span>Feed, feed feed. <\/span><\/b>Potted plants need lots of fertilizer in the summer, it\u2019s hard to
\nover-feed them, so don\u2019t be afraid to add a time-released fertilizer to a pot \u2013
\npass on the organic fertilizer as it requires many months in which to release,
\nand winter will be here before you know it! 18.<\/b><\/span> Take this display tip from
\nprofessional designers and run with it. Repeat a pattern <\/b>\u2013 white pot with lime
\ncoleus, black pot with red coleus, repeat, and repeat again. Symetry, geometry, texture – act like a designer. 19. <\/span>Plant a lawn in a pot. <\/b>Boutique hotels know style, why not steal a style tip from them \u2013 get
\nan epic-sized contemporary container, ( like a 5 foot tall solar-lit one) and
\nplant grass in it. Lawn grass \u2013 just trim it weekly, or plant quick growing oat
\nor wheat grass seed sown thickly, for that fancy, manscaped Hollywood look \u2013
\njust trim it with scissors as needed. 20.<\/b><\/span> Can’t afford garden art? Add Sculpture that expresses you<\/b>. If you\u2019re a dude, try adding garden sculpture that fits your attitude – a vintage toy like a 1960\u2019s Tonka pick up
\ntruck, or a pair of hip Kettle Bells among your succulents \u2013 you don\u2019t need to
\nhide your gear!
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I have so many containers that I now have four areas were I group them together, which allows me to be flexible. If I don’t like a grouping by mid summer, I can move everything around and rearange displays until it all looks right. With a greenhouse, it does make things a bit easier, as most plants are moved back in for the winter, and thus, become larger and more stately each year.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/b><\/span>
\n
<\/b><\/span>
\n21.<\/b><\/span> Plant a themed container<\/b>, your inspiration can come from
\nanywhere \u2013 like a cocktail (mohito or bloody mary  <\/span>pot?) or your fav. Restaurant ( a Chipoltle
\nwindowbox with peppers, cilantro and black beans). 22. <\/span>Flower Farm in a container. <\/span><\/b>Flower farms are all the
\nrage, but if you don\u2019t happen to have a farm handy, why not plant a flower farm
\nin containers? Try easy and fast annuals like cosmos and zinnias, or plant a
\nbox of bulbs just for cutting, like gladiolus. 23.<\/b><\/span> Plant it and they will come. <\/b>Have a big pot but don\u2019t
\nknow what to plant? Try corn \u2013 Corn makes a spectacular statement, and when
\ngrown in a tomato box, one can even get ears to eat from 6 square feet!~ Google
\nit and see. 24.<\/b><\/span> Cant decide on a theme? Use a movie. <\/b>groupings can really work well, try a movie theme  <\/span>like \u2018Under the Tuscan Sun, with a potted
\nOlive tree, pots of lavender, rosemary and French Thyme. Or plant a vintage
\nbeer crate with a hops plant for your beau \u2013 just be sure to add lots of
\ncolorful mountain climbing rope for it to climb on \u2013 as long as 40 feet up the
\nside of a house! 25.<\/b><\/span> Vines in containers <\/b>\u2013 with so many trellises and
\nwire forms now available, there is no reason why one cannot plant morning
\nglories, climbing nasturtiums, cardinal vine, or most any other creeper which
\ncan cover a wire form in just a month or two \u2013 just don\u2019t be afraid to keep
\nyour morning gloried tidy with  <\/span>a
\nbi-weekly trim to keep them from taking over the family pets and children \u2013 no worries,
\nit won\u2019t hurt them!<\/o:p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
