Plant Pots

Container gardening starts with the pot, and the wrong one makes more work than it’s worth — poor drainage, roots bound up by midsummer, or materials that crack after the first hard freeze. Clay, ceramic, plastic, and metal each behave differently depending on sun exposure, watering habits, and where the container lives. Hanging baskets, window boxes, and large statement planters fill out the selection alongside liners, saucers, and caddies. Whatever you’re planting and wherever it’s going, plant pots are worth getting right the first time.
