How To Grow Pot Plants in a Container Garden

BBC Gardener of The Decade, Katherine Crouch, on pot plants and container gardening.

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 love that. A thriller, a filler, and a spiller. Very easy to remember

[rhondaseitz]

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

[janinetaft]

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!

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!

[paulos]

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

[meinusa]

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

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

[ritakonig]

Thanks for that. I need a few pots around my newly renovated house that I want to sell. I think with this Idea I have a winner on my hand.

How I wish I had her yard, I could go crazy planting herbs, flowers and shrubs ♥️

[PaulSmith-pfuq]

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

[bevtheblessed]

A later up date would be good, I love this arrangement 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[indimusiq]

I'd probably adjust the soil accordingly instead of cutting off healthy foliage. The assortment is beautiful. Thanks for sharing 💜

[botanicaltreasures]

Lovely arrangement. I’m impressed at how you fit them all in. Good to know that you can clip off the lower leaves of the cordyline. Have a nice day.🌱

[JohnJones-wobc]

BBC gardener of the decade! Amazing honour, but I see why you have been awarded that!

[lauramwimbi]

Great. I loved the way you explained as you demonstrated the planting. It would be good for you to do another video after a few months to see how the plants are growing. Excellent. Thanks

[ShirleeAlicia]

I don't have a green thumb so any tips I can get I'm grateful for. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me. Even I think I can pull this off.

A thriller, A filler and A spiller
awesome

[WendyHouserBlomseth]

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.

[sherrieblake]

Brilliant! It’s beautiful and I had no idea you could put so much in one container.

love your sense of humor when planting
