1. Full Sun Container Plants for Spring
I love spring container gardening! There are so many flowers to choose from, and the bright colors are so refreshing after a long winter. Of course, you can also use evergreen shrubs and annual flowers that can withstand cold temperatures and will look great even if you have a late season frost.
2. Full Sun Container Plants for Summer
If you want to make sure you have color all summer long, consider mixing annuals and perennials in your containers. This way, you will always have something blooming. Perennials are plants that return year after year, while annuals only live for one growing season. Annual flowers are often used in containers because they bloom for a long time and can be replaced with something new and exciting each year. In this container, you will find a mix of annuals and perennials. The purple flowers are called Million Bells (Calibrachoa), and they are a type of petunia.

When the summer foliage fades, you can still have a beautiful container garden. Look for plants that like full sun and have fall colors, such as mums, sunflowers, and marigolds. You can also use fall-blooming plants like pansies and ornamental peppers. Don’t forget about ornamental kale and cabbage, which are also great for adding color and texture to your fall container gardens.

Winter container gardens are a great way to keep your green thumb skills sharp during the off-season. You can grow cold-tolerant plants in your containers.

The only difference is the type of plants you use.
