Pots with Personality

摘要

Follow these design guidelines to get the most impact from container plantings. Planted pots belong in every garden. Whether you garden on a sunny urban balcony, in the shade outside a studio apartment, or in a suburban or rural garden, whether in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 2 or i0, planted pots add so very much to the garden's character. Plant the tropical glory bush (Tibouchind) in a pot, and you'll introduce an energizing bolt of luminous blue into your sunny garden. Plant three 'Texas Parking Lot' coleuses in a 24-inch pot, and in a few weeks the burgundy-and-gold leaves will light up a semishaded corner of your terrace.
