Gardening season is in full swing and a few pretty pots on a patio or balcony filled with your favourite blooms can pull together an outdoor space. A set of large pots can work as a focal point for a welcoming entry while several pots grouped together add colour and ambience to an outdoor sitting area. Gardeners need to be sure pots are large enough to give roots space to grow and that they have drainage holes to prevent plants from becoming waterlogged. Also important to consider is the material a pot is made of — terracotta pots dry out faster and are heavier than plastic or resin. Whether growing simple flowers or an edible garden, here are nine pretty pots perfect for a variety of spaces.
