Focus
Potted plants -- and pots -- create interest.
Grouped in strategic places, they break
the monotony of a terrace or a patio and
create an ambient scene.
Build a simple theme garden around a
color or an idea. A collection of red makes
a cheerful display. Pots of sedum and
Sempervivum look simple but elegant.
Rearrange plantings to suit the season or
your mood.
Containers aligned with precision and
planted with trim specimens, such as
rosemary standards or ivy topiaries,
create instant formality. A trio of large
pots makes a garden appear more
settled; they suggest the accumulation of
years’ growth.

Thyme
Lemon Verbena

Herbs
Potted herbs are a great winter addition.
Nestle containers of bright annuals among
duller plants in the garden for added color.
To keep plants looking good: Water when
soil dries, pinch off spent blooms.

Basil

Rosemary

Parsley
