I have a small patio at the back of my house where I like to showcase my favorite plants. These plants are kept in decorative or black nursery pots and I change the pots around all year to make different plant combinations. I use concrete pavers under some pots to add height. A particular plant that is covered in blooms will get center stage until the flowers fade and then I will replace it with another dazzler or two. In winter I bring up all of my evergreens and some grasses that have turned their winter colors and create a new scene to enjoy from my windows. In summer, I make sure I put fragrant potted plants on tables next to my patio chairs at nose height to enjoy the fragrance and detail of the flowers.
