Container plants for small spaces at Garthowen Garden Centre from Hampshire
Container plants are ideal if space is tight in the garden. Many of the shrubs we're used to thinking of as enormous specimens suitable only for large gardens now come in dwarf varieties: in your Hampshire garden centre you'll find container plant stars like the new Buddleja 'Buzz' series, compact 'yak' (yakushimanum) rhododendrons and even fruit trees bred to produce prolific crops in a roomy pot.
Designing with container plants from Garthowen Garden Centre
Plants grown in containers are invaluable for adding a little designer style to your garden, too. Use container plants as focal points tumbling over a handsome urn or terracotta bowl at the end of a path, perhaps. Clematis also make a lovely feature grown as container plants and clambering up a wigwam in the centre of a potager.
For a formal look, try repeating the same container plant in matching pots down a flight of steps; or mix contrasting perennials together in the same container for gorgeous planting combinations for every season. Pop down to the garden centre here in Alton and see what's in flower – you can try out different combinations right here on the benches!
