15 Container Garden Ideas for Spring and Summer

April 17, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Better Homes and Gardens

I don’t know about you but I am more than ready to get on with Spring and Summer. I want to lay at the beach, get out on my board and sit on my porch in the afternoon and relax while taking in my beautiful containers.

I typically stick to plants that I have good luck with, geraniums, coleus, hyraagenas, sweet potato vines, lantana and a few more. I know it is not very adventurous but I do not have a green thumb and I hate to get plants and then have them die mere weeks later. These containers found around the web are making me rethink my container plans this year.

For those of you who are looking for  great container ideas, feast your eyes on these gorgeous combinations that I found.

    What a timely post Elizabeth, we're actually planning our backyard right now and I'm doing lots of research on plants native to the coast. It's so fun and I especially love planting containers.

    Hello Elizabeth,
    On this sunny day I, too, am thinking of container pots and need several. Our garden centre is still not fully stocked so I must wait a bit longer.

    Thanks for the inspiration
