Containers are commonly used as focal points and are equally effective whether planted or left empty. There are several factors to consider when choosing a pot. Color incites the mood; bold hues of yellow or red create drama and excitement, while cooler tones of blue and green are more serene. Selecting a pot with hues similar to a home’s exterior integrates the house with the landscape. A Craftsman or Victorian home is more suited to traditional urns, while a ranch or contemporary-style home is enhanced by modern planters.
A focal point can be a foundation plant, gazebo, chair, water feature, statue or a piece of art. It acts as a calling card, the cue that invites viewers to explore the garden further. This grouping of pots has greater impact than a single container, and ultimately draws attention to the glass water feature in the background. A classic terra-cotta urn is decorated with cheerful metal ribbon sculptures. A jasmine-covered arbor frames the container, further directing the eye to the center.
