Best Succulent Containers

Grow your Favorite Succulents in a Patio or Deck Planter

Growing succulents and planting them in interesting, funky, unique containers is one of the fastest growing ways of enjoying your garden, providing bright colours and interesting textures on a sun drenched patio.

Many gardeners only have a small garden or deck, so container gardening can add valuable gardening space.

Find out what's the best container gardening soil.

Still looking for more ideas for which containers for succulents to use?

I have so much fun finding rustic salvage to make into planters, making succulent crafts, a succulent topiary or succulent mosaic, or using unusual thrift store finds to plant these incredible plants in. 'Trash into Treasure' is my new motto.

Fortunately, I’m not alone in this addiction – many gardeners are obsessed with finding new ways to display their succulent collection.

We're also in luck that most gardeners love to brag about their ideas and inspiration in finding those unique planters, pots, and containers - you won't believe what some people plant their succulent collection into...

The winner of the Best Succulent Containers Contest 2011 has been chosen - congratulations to Nanette with her entry, Buoys and the Tree of Lost Soles. Nanette wins a gift certificate from Amazon to spend as she wishes - on books, perhaps? Or more succulent plants?
