Time to design your Patio Planters to set by your doors!
The Method: Most gardener's have a simple rule of thumb; Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers. We used the Proven Winners Ceylon container as our example.
The Thriller is your focal point, your structure in the pot. Good Thriller plants include bananas, elephant ears (in the pictured container), canna lilies, and ornamental grasses (think ‘Purple Fountain’).
The Spiller flows over the sides of the pot, sometimes reaching the ground. Nice Spillers are sweet potato vines, calibrachoa (pictured), bacopa, creeping jenny (also pictured), and ivy.
The Filler connects the space between the Thrillers and the Spillers. Coleus (in the pictured container), superbells, ‘Diamond Frost’, and nemesia make wonderful Fillers!
