  • BBC Gardener of The Decade, Katherine Crouch, on pot plants and container gardening.
    Katherine uses a mixture of garden pot plants in this video to help inspire your own garden planting ideas. When chosing garden pot plants Katherine uses a 'thriller' plant to give height and drama, a 'filler' plant to provide foliage and colour and finally a 'spiller' pot plant to trail out over the edges of the pot or container. Watch the video and see the beautiful results this method of pot planting will create.
    Katherine also describes methods of fertilisation to ensure your container flower garden and garden pot plants look great all summer long.

    New gardener here, wow I am shocked at how many plants people cram into a pot. I was only putting like geraniums into a huge pot....Never dreamed I could pack all these into one pot? I AM LEARNING A LOT. Beautiful work, and such a great video- THANK YOU!

    As a absolute beginner of container garden, I've watched at least a dozen videos on how to start a container garden, and this one is by far the most comprehensive and easy! I just love how Katherine explained everything, so clear and simple. "A thriller, a filler and a spiller", brilliant!

Ornamental grasses are beautiful as thrillers too! I subscribed because you English people have such lovely gardens!
