Design Lessons from Chanticleer | Fabulous Containers

Named "America's Most Inspiring Garden" by Garden Design Magazine, Chanticleer Garden near Philadelphia, PA, is a garden lover's paradise.

I love woodies in pots! Several years ago I scored these large 3ft tall pots from a nursery in January. After planting flowers and vegetables, we’ve used them as a bit of a nursery to bring in size for our propogated cuttings for cherry trees and our native hydrangeas here in RI. The hydrangeas are the best to date. ❤ On my patio this year I have a boxwood, dwarf spruce, and Japanese Sky Pencil Holly in pots and am loving it more than prior years of annuals. It’s fun to mix it up!

Very good topic. Containers really increase your options. I have two pineapple plants which spend the summer outside and the winters inside. I doubt they would have lived as long as they have were it not for the fact I can move them to the optimal environment for them.

very interesting insights👍. Can you pls. give advice wich shrubs or small trees are suitable for pots? I tried amalanchir that is doing well. Since my garden is very small i look for a small tree, to grow in a large container. Thank you, Susanne from Germany (7a)
