Simplicity sells. Combine two to three
different plants for an eye-catching
container your customers will love.
Use these components for easy,
beautiful mixed containers.
• Focal plant – this big and bold
plant is the main focus. It adds
height and calls attention to the
planter.
• Filler plant – this plant fills the
container and provides depth.
Look for plants with colors and
textures that complement the
focal plant.
• Cascading plant – this plant
cascades over the sides of the
container to add interest. Use
additional colors and textures to
create excitement.
