We've picked our top 5 favorite seasonal container plants. Do you have a container planting that was just astounding? Send us a picture!


Spring


Hellebore

Hellebores are a beautiful early bloomer from February to mid May. Tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, hellebores perform best when sited in partial shade in rich, moist, but well-draining soil. Hellebores are quite easy to grow, and since they are perennials, will continue to bloom for a number of years.



Summer


Rex Begonia

The fabulous foliage of Rex begonias offers a large range of colors, shapes, and textures. The flowers are insignificant, but with leaves like these, who cares? Rex begonias headline the show for months on end in any shade garden, especially when grown in containers.



Calibrachoa

While Calibrachoa million bells may be a fairly new species, this dazzling little plant is a must-have in the garden. Its name comes from the fact that it features hundreds of small, bell-like flowers that resemble miniature petunias. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for use in hanging baskets, containers or as a small area ground cover.

Fall

Heuchera

The stunning Heuchera foliage of these fast-growing, deer- and pest-resistant perennials is so multi-colored they will stand out anywhere! With large, heart-shaped or rounded leaves, the striking colors and variegation patterns beautifully accent the clusters of late-spring, hummingbird-attracting, vase-perfect, flower spikes!


Purple Flash Ornamental Pepper

Ornamental pepper care is easy, and you can expect fruit from mid spring until fall. Bushy, glossy green foliage and colorful fruit that stand in upright clusters at the end of the stems combine to create an outstanding ornamental plant in your containers.
