The beauty of containers is that you can grow practically anything – and there's no need to confine yourself to just one plant. In fact, pick a pair of plants that grow in similar conditions and they can easily thrive in containers together. And if you prefer 'set and forget' plants which require minimal upkeep, there are plenty of combinations to explore.
Containers provide a brilliant way to mix up your planting, whether you want to spruce up a patio or deck, or bring visual interest to an otherwise empty spot.
