Great Container Plants for Summer
You can’t pick up a current gardening magazine without seeing lots of fabulous container plantings of all sizes and colors. Hopefully it has inspired you to try some container gardening this summer. Whether you want super-easy containers, or ideas for more complex plant combinations, Monrovia is here to help you get started.
We love container gardening for so many reasons:
It’s a quick way to brighten up a deck or patio
- You can control the soil, water and fertilizer that your container plants receive
- You can move them around depending on the weather. In the brutal heat of summer, move containers out of the afternoon sun. Or in the winter, shift your tender plants to the garage or basement until spring.
- Starting with containers is ideal for novices who are just learning to garden
- Condo and apartment dwellers who only have a balcony can still garden.
- It’s easy to change out the plants for a different look each season.
