Are you looking for flower pot ideas that will spruce up your front porch?
Great!
This lineup has the most beautiful flower pot arrangements and color combinations!
But first, let’s cover some basics to make sure your flower pots will thrive!
Sun or Shade
This is the first thing you should consider when assembling a flower pot!
Where will your 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 and vertical reeds 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 drape well.
Ready, Set, Grow
Ok, I think you’r ready to assemble a beautiful flower arrangement.
But lets not forget one important thing!
If you want your flower pots to have gorgeous growth like the ones in the photos below, you are going to need to feed them!
We like to eat, and our flowers do too!
It’s pretty simple idea, but amazing how many people forget this!
If you consistently feed your flowers plant food (like the one below) they will be vibrant and full.
This can literally double the growth you would receive without it, and it’s pretty inexpensive!
All right, let’s jump into the pics!

First, let’s start with this beautiful flower pot arrangement from Susan at Momcrieff!
She photographed 20 of the most beautiful flower pot arrangements in her neighbor hood, and this is one of them!
I love the brightly colored green coleus with the wine colored grass and flowers.

Taller grass in the back, full flowers in the middle, and the coleus leaves spilling over the front edge.
Beautiful!
