What can I plant in tall outdoor pots?

Start with a tall, upright plant, such as Purple Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum') or a fancy-leaved, dwarf canna lily. Add one or two broad, mid-height plants such as heliotrope, coleus, African daisies (osteospermum), or dwarf dahlias.

Do you fill tall planters with soil?

Tall planters, however, require a large amount of potting soil to fill completely. Not only does this make for an expensive project, but results in a planter perhaps too heavy to move at all. There are alternate ways to fill your planter without spending too much or straining your back.

What is the best material for outdoor planters?

Pros: Polystyrene foam containers are more durable than traditional plastic pots. They hold up well to weather and can be left outdoors year-round. They're much lighter than wood, stone, or terra-cotta, as well.

How do you fill large outdoor planters?

Examples include plastic drink containers, milk jugs, crushed soda cans, foam packing materials and plastic or foam take-out containers. Wash the items well to make sure no food residue remains and fill the bottom one-fourth to one-third of the container with the filler.

Should you put rocks in the bottom of a planter?
