Planters & Pots

How to Use Outdoor Planter Pots

The simplest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to prepare your patio for summer lounging and entertaining is by decorating with plants in outdoor planter pots. Fresh green ferns, vibrant flowers, and textured hedges in lively flower pots and stylish garden planters can spruce up any space. Greenery or flowers in stylish outdoor planters serve as the perfect natural accent to an outdoor sanctuary centered around a U-shaped patio sectional. Find outdoor standing planters and plant pots in various shapes, sizes, and styles to create the perfect escape in your own backyard. Get creative and design an entire container garden for large or small spaces with options like indoor/outdoor planter boxes or wall-mounted planters.

Decorating with Outdoor Planter Pots on Balconies and Patios

Whether you are decorating a small outdoor space like a garden or balcony or a large patio, abundant, flourishing greenery breathes life into your space. Plants in textured and sleek modern pots can fill out the nooks and crannies of your space, making it feel full, lush, and calm. Diversifying your botanicals by type, color, size, and appearance not only gives your patio a unique look but also provides more variety to work with when arranging your garden planters. For a tranquil space to relax outside, place planter boxes or standing planters of different heights around a comfortable outdoor bench. Small flowers and buds can be placed on side tables or along a deck railing, and they are perfect for planter window boxes. Try potting small perennials like petunias and pansies, which add rich, natural color to your space. Window boxes and rail planters are also ideal for fresh herbs. If your barbecue grill is on the edge of your patio, consider placing a large planter nearby stocked with plenty of herbs. This keeps fresh, fragrant herbs within reach of the grillmaster for picking or trimming to garnish dishes. The shapes and colors of the outdoor planters you choose will set the tone for your deck. White planters with clean, modern lines give any backyard a contemporary, minimalistic feel. Outdoor garden pots in black or other dark shades lend a subdued, upscale look to the area. Whichever garden plant pots you choose, stylish designs complete the outdoor setup.

Seeding Indoor Plant Pots and Outdoor Planters

If you want to decorate with outdoor plant pots before the growing season begins, start your seeds indoors. Use indoor planting pots in sizes and styles that match your other indoor decorative objects. Easy-growing kitchen herbs such as basil, rosemary, thyme, and chives can grow indoors all year round. Because herbs are small plants, they can be easily moved outside in their original pots if you choose indoor/outdoor garden pots, or you can transplant them to patio plant pots with a different style to suit your outdoor decor. Whatever type of seeds you choose to start indoors, consider how big they will grow, the size of outdoor planters they will require, and the kind of sunlight, water, and space they will need as they sprout. Once it's warm enough to continue growing outside, create a garden workstation by choosing an outdoor accent table with storage for garden tools and space to set everything out when you care for your plants.
