Hey there! Are you looking for flower pot ideas that will spruce up your front porch?
Great, you’re in the right spot!
This lineup has the most beautiful flower pot arrangements and color combinations sure to inspire your design.
But first, let’s cover some basics to make sure your flower pots will thrive!
Sun or Shade
Where will your flower pots sit?
Are they tucked under a shaded porch? Or will they get blasted with afternoon sunlight?
Maybe they are a combination of both!
This is probably the most important consideration to make when buying annual flowers to fill your pots.
(Annuals are the flowers that grow for one growing season and are shown in all of the potted pictures below).
Lucky for us, most flower and garden sections are organized by sunlight exposure!
After you know which type will grow best in your pots, be sure to shop in the section that carries plants that are best suited for your space!
Height, Fill, & Spill
Here’s a little flower pot design secret…
Most beautiful flower pot arrangements follow a general height, fill, spill structure.
Of course you don’t have to follow this verbatim, but it’s a great rule of thumb for creating beautiful pots with a lot of visual interest.
For the height, consider tall grasses, larger annuals and vertical plants that can be placed toward the back of the arrangement.
For the fill simply pick your favorite flowers!
And for the spill look for low lying ground cover or creeping plants that may spill over the edge of the container as they grow.
Enough chit chat, let’s get to the gorgeous flower pot ideas…
