7 Ideas for Container Gardens

Create a Centerpiece

Make a big impact with a group of small plants that form a low-maintenance centerpiece.
 
Design concepts: Even though they aren't identical, these glazed ceramic pots and saucers are unified by color, shape, and size. Likewise, the plants are different varieties of the same species.
 
Plants: Succulents, like the hens and chicks, jade plant, and purple aeonium shown here, are easy to care for. These sun lovers prefer dry soil.
