Best planter gardening ideas for your backyard

 Without a consistent pattern throughout, your garden screen can appear confusing or poorly put together. For example, an underlying theme might be white roses. These should be planted throughout the garden, breaking up the other various plants throughout. Having a common floral pattern in a display is refreshing and helps the eye spot all the distinct differences instead of feeling overwhelmed.

4. Potted plants must match

By match, we don’t mean that all your plantings and seedlings should be the same. We encourage color and size variations, just make sure you choose the right pot for the right flower to create a look that works. If a plant is too small, too big or too vibrant for a particular planting, it won’t look right. Also, if the main colors of a flower do not match the color of the planter, it can take away the natural beauty.

So how do you make sure your plants and plantings match? To begin with, note the surrounding colors, either already in the garden or on nearby structures. You can use these colors as a base and find ways to highlight them throughout your landscape design.

To ensure your plants match the planters, you should first purchase (or at least plan for) the plants you want to use that will work well in your environment. Then you should consider buying suitable planters. Not only for your plants to thrive in, but it will help accentuate the colors found in your foliage.

5. Long, short, thick and narrow – prioritize diversity in the plantings

If your entire garden is one height, you risk creating a look that no one notices. If your plants are displayed at different levels, more details will be noticed.

Planters come in a variety of sizes, from very small to very large. It’s common for people to get overwhelmed by very large planters, but be careful not to just get small planters. Oversized planters can make a big statement to your overall landscape design.
