Accessible and satisfying, growing flowers in pots is a versatile and fun way to enhance any plot, from small city yards to gardens with space. Get the pots right and your garden will take on a cheerful energy of its own. They are the bubbles in the champagne; the cherries on the cake; the final enhancement of what makes a garden beautiful. And with pots, there is one iron rule: more is more.

Discover practical design tips that will really enhance your pots. Use ingenious tricks when combining flower colours such as choosing a BRIDE (the star of the show), a BRIDESMAID (similar to the bride but smaller and less conspicuous) and a GATECRASHER (the colour contrast, which brings the whole thing to life).

 

Learn all about the types of forms and plant structures ' Thriller, Filler, Pillar and Spiller ' and how to put them to best use. And take on the simplest of ideas, such as raising flower pots onto a wall or table so you see more of them, for instant impact.
