DESIGNING WITH
CONTAINERS
Large or small, contemporary or traditional, there’s a container
to suit every garden, interior, and design style. Select those that
match your planting theme, and combine pots in complementary
materials and colors for a coordinated look. To make your home
and garden stand out from the crowd, browse through this chapter
for inspirational container designs and striking plant combinations.

Use bold pots of summer blooms for a modern scheme, or choose a vibrant dahlia to brighten up a border. Patterned
foliage plants make exceptional specimens for the home, while herbs in crates lend a rustic note to country gardens.
8 DESIGNING WITH CONTAINERS

Creating a design
The choice of containers for your prized plants is vast
and varied. Recycled items can make quirky pots, while
traditional shapes and materials suit informal and
classical designs. Sleek cubes, cylinders, and conical
pots made from metal, synthetics, or smooth stone are
ideal for low-maintenance, contemporary gardens.

Plants have the potential to make stunning, highly valued features


when teamed with the right containers, so it’s well worth considering
your choices carefully. By uniting plants and pots in perfect harmony,
you can create a wealth of sensational displays using the myriad
different styles, colors, shapes, and sizes on offer.
Materials for containers include plastic, fiberglass, terra-cotta,
stone, glazed ceramic, metal, and wood, but with so many options,
how do you make your choice? First, consider the overall design
and style of your garden, and then think about the plants you want
to display and try to match these with complementary pots. Place
your plants in appropriate sites to ensure they thrive, but don’t be
afraid to experiment with unconventional schemes, as the beauty
of container gardening is that mistakes are easily rectified.

Above Plant Penstemon and Ligularia in weathered wooden crates to create


a rustic design for a country or informal-style garden. The crates can be stacked
and arranged to create a proportional display on varying levels.

Right The brilliant red of Acer palmatum foliage creates a striking contrast with the

CREATING A DESIGN 9

Eco-friendly ideas
Creating your own containers by recycling items that may
otherwise become trash is good for the environment and good
for your pocket, and will lend a personal touch to your garden.
Just about anything that has space for compost can be turned
into a plant pot, including old boots, cans, buckets, wine boxes,
fruit trays, yogurt cartons, colanders, and plastic cups. Food
cans of all shapes and sizes are also a great look and can often
be obtained from local restaurants and delicatessens. However,
before turning any item into a home for plants, drill some
drainage holes in the base, and make sure there is enough
space inside for your chosen plants to grow comfortably.

10 DESIGNING WITH CONTAINERS

Cool and contemporary designs


When creating displays for a modern patio garden or a minimalist courtyard, opt
for simple, elegant containers with a sculptural quality or use angular shapes that
complement sharp, geometrical designs. Avoid overly ornate or traditional pots,
which will clash with a modern setting. Tall, rectangular containers look great
when teamed with contrasting spiky or feathery foliage, while low cubes make
ideal homes for lollipop-shaped standard trees or the curved outline of a clipped box
topiary. Use rectangular planters to raise vegetables, herbs, and other edibles, and
try slim cylinders and tapering conical pots with trailing plants to create a striking
asymmetrical display. Most plants can be grown in contemporary containers, but
architectural shapes, crisp topiary, grasses, bamboos, and succulents suit them best.

Right For a contemporary look that will maximize your growing

ivy in wooden boxes attached to slatted wooden screens.
CREATING A DESIGN 11

Modern materials
Metal or synthetic materials are most commonly
used to make contemporary containers because
they suit modern designs. These versatile pots
tend to be long lasting, lighter, and easier to clean
than those made from traditional materials.

METAL
Zinc, hammered aluminium,
polished steel, galvanized
steel, and heavy-duty Corten
steel that ages to a beautiful
rusted finish are just some
of the metals used for plant
containers. Since metal heats
up quickly, line your pots with
bubble plastic before planting
to keep the roots from frying.
In shady areas, use shiny
metals to reflect light.

Right Create a garden hall of mirrors


using striking pots, such as this woven
aluminium container. Use the spiky
leaves of a cordyline as the main focus
above a skirt of colorful blooms.

SYNTHETIC MATERIALS
Lightweight pots made from fiberglass are
ideal for roof gardens, balconies, or other areas
where weight is an issue. Modern plastic
and polycarbonate pots can look very chic and
are available in a wide range of styles and colors.
Synthetics are also frost-proof and durable.

12 DESIGNING WITH CONTAINERS

Old-world charm
Set the scene in an informal or country garden with
containers made from traditional materials and
molded into classic shapes, such as urns or bowls.
In a country garden with deep borders, a tiny
English-style garden enclosed by brick walls, or
a simple yard and small patio, try warm-colored
terra-cotta and clay containers to give a natural
look. These materials offer the perfect backdrop for
most plants because their muted tones do not
overpower either flowers or foliage, and their rustic
appearance improves as they weather and age.
Remember that many terra-cotta pots are not frost
proof, so look for those with 10-year guarantees—
they are usually more expensive but can be cost
effective in the long run.
Alternatively, use distressed zinc containers
to add a dash of old-world charm to your design,
or wooden boxes, which look fabulous in natural
settings. Wicker baskets in all shapes and sizes
are also charming; either line them with plastic
punctured with drainage holes, or use them to hold
plants potted in plastic containers.

Grow ornamental grasses and compact alpines, such as Glazed containers work well in traditional settings if you choose dark colors

14 DESIGNING WITH CONTAINERS

Perfect partners
Combining pots and plants to create a balanced display is often a case of trial
and error. Those with less experience may find it easier to opt for a collection
of containers made from the same material, which will make a harmonious
design for a formal or modern garden. A random group of pots in a variety
of shapes, sizes, and materials is ideal for an English-style garden or informal
space. Either set your pots out in height order in a formal fashion, or in a looser
way to produce a more relaxed display.

Matching materials
A uniform group of plants growing in pots made from the same
material can be a highly effective way of creating a focal point on
a patio or terrace. For contemporary gardens, choose containers
in colors and a design or finish that echoes your interior decoration
to create a seamless flow from inside to out, or throw caution to
the wind and use pots that contrast with your décor to create
colorful punctuation points.
Give a sense of unity to your design by placing similar
containers throughout your space to help draw the eye from one
part of the garden to another. Alternatively, set identical plants
and containers in a row to divide or enclose a patio, or to frame
a feature or gateway. Tall, elegant containers work well in this
context and ensure the materials complement your garden style.

PERFECT PARTNERS 15

Mixing shapes and sizes


Groups of containers made from different materials
and in different shapes and sizes are ideal for
a relaxed flower-filled space where a natural look
is required. Add movement, scale, and a sense
of perspective by grouping planters by height, or
raise your game and create a collection on a table,
bench, or even an old ladder, using the rungs as
a theater to show off the plants. Mixed pots tend
to look unbalanced when arranged in a row,
so try a more staggered display instead. Also
include a few similar elements to unify your
collection, such as pot and plant colors, foliage
shapes, or a pebble mulch.

16 DESIGNING WITH CONTAINERS

Pots in gardens
The great appeal of plants in pots is that they are versatile, adding pizzazz
to an urban chill-out zone, providing a decorative touch to a flower-filled
English garden, and injecting a dash of color into almost any plot. Use large
containers as focal points in beds or borders, and tiny pots to help to dress up
more intimate areas of the garden. Containers also allow you to celebrate
the seasonal changes with spring bulbs, and summer and autumn bedding.

Traditional designs
Weathered and rustic containers lend themselves
to traditional, formal, and period gardens. A large
pot planted with a specimen shrub or grass makes
a great focal point for the end of a grassy path or
pergola, drawing the eye through the garden.
Choose stone urns filled with a profusion of flowers
and foliage to complement herbaceous borders or
mixed beds, and raise them on platforms for added
impact. Containers can also be set among plantings
to heighten the sense of mystery and surprise as
visitors discover them, and used to integrate
seasonal color into a parterre or knot garden.

Above Create a stately


pattern of colorful flowers,
such as scented geraniums
and petunias, planted in
ornate urns to frame a grass
walkway and long borders.

Above Contrast the spiky foliage and delicate petals of


traditonal English garden irises with the bold permanence
of contemporary containers in a fusion of old and new styles.

Contemporary plans
Containers with clean, simple designs complement
the elegance of a modern garden. Choose a tall
slender pot made from contemporary materials,
such as composite stone or metal, matched with an
architectural plant and positioned in a prominent
place to create an eye-catching sculpture.
Minimalist planting designs also work well in chic
