Annual Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers

A huge benefit of a home garden is the opportunity to get creative with your plants and flowers. A great way to explore your creativity is through container gardening! Within these containers, you can put your design skills to the test with the change of seasons, or simply create one look for the entire year.

For container gardening and patio containers, one common way to start designing is to use the “Thriller, Filler, Spiller” concept. This design technique utilizes three different types of plants to create well-rounded and upscale looking containers. This technique ensures a blend of textures, colors, heights and movement, which is always good to consider when designing any garden space!
