5 Container Garden Ideas to Attract Hummingbirds

Container gardening is well recognized for being a flexible method to bring some drama and color to any room, whether it be through window boxes or hanging baskets—but it can also be useful! Create a hummingbird banquet with these tried-and-true container garden ideas to add even more impact to your little spaces.

 

How to Select a Container

You need the appropriate container to anchor everything. There will be plenty for you to select from, no doubt. You can probably find them in endless rows at the garden center, coming in every possible size, shape, and color. Choose a container that inspires you before you even begin to look at plants. For a little conifer, a short, stocky container would be ideal. A striking turquoise container would make the ideal background for different pink tones. A large, tall container works well for plants that trail.

 

Although high-quality pots and other planters might be costly, if you find one you truly like, feel free to make a small purchase. You’ll probably have it for years to come. Oh, and keep in mind that containers are best purchased in pairs, much like shoes!

Another thing to think about is to make sure your container has drainage holes to prevent soggy soil, which can cause root rot.

Add Drama With Tall Plants

Tall plants are among the simplest ways to use a container to create a statement. Though there are some vibrant annuals available, don’t discount perennials. It is not necessary to throw out your plants every year just because you are growing in a container. Give the perennials adequate winter protection in a weatherproof pot, and you’ll have an early advantage the following year.

 

Include Trailing Plants

Not only are trailing plants essential for hanging baskets, but they also make a stunning addition to other container garden designs. Trailing plants are sometimes featured in their own section at garden centers. Use flowers such as petunias, geraniums, and trailing begonias, or try foliage plants such as licorice and sweet potato vines. It’s generally best to limit your container planting to one kind of trailing plant, though it can be interesting to mix in a few different types from the same family.

 

Choose Bold Colors

Bright red flowers and a bright red container aren’t always a good match. However, you may take advantage of color if you put in a little advance work. Start with your preferred pot. To what extent is it colorful? What would look great as accents if you’re a fan of vivid orange, yellow, or blue pots?

Selecting a more muted, neutral pot with perhaps an eye-catching form or lines is an additional choice. Next, employ plants to create a difference. You may switch up the plants from year to year, which is one benefit of this. You might have a red, white, and blue theme one year and a yellow one the following if you had a brown or terra-cotta pot.
