Container planting is fun!
Put different plants together to create a unique and different pairing of plants! I love to plant up pots for displays. That and helping people find that perfect pot combo for their poolside, front door or for their patios.
Choosing the Right Plant Combination
You can mix and match just about anything you can imagine. An Agave, Euphorbia ‘Sticks of Fire’, Crown of Thorns and a little Sedum, why not! It is important to remember when putting different things together to consider the water requirements of everything as well as the sun tolerance.
- Thriller: Your tall eye-catching center plant (like an Agave).
- Filler: Mid-sized plants that fill the space around the base.
- Spiller: Plants that trail over the edge (like sedum or vines).
Sun and Water
If you plant something that needs a little more water than the rest, be careful to only water that one particular plant more often. The most important thing to remember is to have fun and pick out what you like and put it together. Once you understand these basics, the possibilities are endless!
Design Without Limits
Best part is it is not permanent. If you decide you don’t like the way it’s growing together, take it out and put in a different plant. There is no wrong or right way to combine to create that perfect combination. Like Texas natives? Plant them in pots- why not?
