Shades of grey
Identical pots grouped together are a
great way to punctuate the boundary
of your space. The tones of the plants
(here, teucrium) match both the bench
and the rendering for a cohesive look.
Contemporary towers
To make a strong statement in a
contemporary space, consider using
a repeated rank of tall geometric pots
as the focus. Linear repetition of the
same pot and plant can be used to
great effect in a modern scheme. Plant
them up with low-growing sempervivum,
which will give contrasting architectural
form without detracting from the pillar
effect of the containers.

practicalities of the surface. For a
modern, low-maintenance effect
that allows good drainage, try
adding a border of loose pebbles
