Container Plants
From hanging baskets to containers to Miniature Gardens in a garden bowl, the list of plants below will fit the bill. Each link will tell you about each plant and in the case of Annuals, will give you the category of Thriller (a plant that grows larger and is the main focus of the container), or a Filler (plants that can be used to fill up a container), and Spillers (plants that will trail and spill over the edges of containers.
Some plants do well planted in containers and some thrive in containers. Plant what you know or experiment and have fun!
