Plant the perfect container for your deck, entryway, or yard using our gallery of inspiring ideas
Veggies in pots
Even if you don't have much sunny ground, you can still experience the pleasure of harvesting your own vine-ripened tomatoes and other crops.
All you need is a generous-size container, good potting soil, and a suitable spot ― a patio, deck, or corner that gets at least six hours of full sun a day.

Wild about grasses
Chasmanthium latifolium and Acorus gramineus ‘Licorice’ get into a delicious tangle in an oval gray stone container. When bruised the acorus’s leaves have a licorice scent.

Late summer color
A single pot can add a splash of color by a path or, for a garden look on a patio, cluster three pots together.
Create your own combinations from listings for your climate. Use large containers (18 to 24 inches across and as deep) and a good potting mix; buy blooming perennials in gallon cans.

Living color
Like a canvas waiting for paint, an empty garden pot can become anything you desire: a meditation in violet, a carnival of oranges and limes, or a quiet study of leaf shapes and textures.

Summer pots
When summer heats up, container designer Tina Dixon of Bothell, Washington, fills pots with tropical (and tropical-looking) plants that flaunt their lush foliage and flowers through fall.

Unthirsty plants
Dramatic, low-water Echeveria and New Zealand flax fill a pot.
