How To Grow Pot Plants in a Container Garden

Katherine uses a mixture of garden pot plants in this video to help inspire your own garden planting ideas. When chosing garden pot plants Katherine uses a 'thriller' plant to give height and drama, a 'filler' plant to provide foliage and colour and finally a 'spiller' pot plant to trail out over the edges of the pot or container. Watch the video and see the beautiful results this method of pot planting will create.
Katherine also describes methods of fertilisation to ensure your container flower garden and garden pot plants look great all summer long.

I am a new gardener. I am shocked at how many plants you put in this one container! Good to know!!

New gardener here, wow I am shocked at how many plants people cram into a pot. I was only putting like geraniums into a huge pot....Never dreamed I could pack all these into one pot? I AM LEARNING A LOT. Beautiful work, and such a great video- THANK YOU!

I wish these videos would show at the end what the plant looked like after a few months of growing.

I watch these vids then stroll round the garden centre acting the complete expert!

As a absolute beginner of container garden, I've watched at least a dozen videos on how to start a container garden, and this one is by far the most comprehensive and easy! I just love how Katherine explained everything, so clear and simple. "A thriller, a filler and a spiller", brilliant!

Thriller Filler Spiller has been my way of planting for years. It makes pots much more interesting and showy!

A Thriller, a Filler and a Spiller. Best advice! Thanx for passing it on!

12 months later I had to come back to find the guideline: THRILLER, FILLER, SPILLER. I told all my visitors last year and couldn't remember it today.

I have done the thriller, filler, and spiller for years BUT have never heard it called this...I love it! I live in a cold winter climate...watching your video makes me anxious for warmer weather for I can start planting my flower pots. Thank you for a nice video...loved your post of beauty.

Thanks for this. Totally timely for me, 6 years later 😁! I'm partway through terracing the space below my front window & am beginning to add pots. What a brilliant punchline to remember - thriller, filler, spiller. Now I have visions of flower & foliage cascades 🥰 Now to not break the bank!
