Six Winter Container Plants


To keep your garden looking alive and vibrant during the winter months, why not prepare yourself some container plants.

If you struggle with plant pot arrangements, why not arrange them so that the tallest plant is in the centre and smaller plants are around the outside. You could also use larger pots/containers and mix several items for a beautiful variated planter.
