This is an interesting list of dwarf shrubs and flowers that are ideal for growing in small containers. The great advantage of a small planter is that it is easy to move to a prominent position while in flower and then further back once the blooms have faded. Everyone will have their own favorites, but this list comes from an article by Betty which I found on the Top Inspired website.

In this article, we are presenting you ten beautiful plants that can be planted in small containers. This way you can place them wherever you want around the garden. Plus, some of these flowers and shrubs?are magnets for butterflies and hummingbirds ? isn?t it wonderful?

Roses are such a classic and we cannot resist them, no matter their color or size. When it comes to miniature roses, they need at least five or six hours of direct sunlight. They have delicate roots that require plenty of watering and well-drained soil. Expect their blooming to happen in spring and their blooms last for weeks.

Gardenia plants need a full sun and partial shade in case if they?re planted in a very hot area. They want their soil to be moist, but never soggy. The most important thing about the gardenia is that the right temperature is necessary for the plant to bloom ? the ideal temperature ranges would be 65 to 70? during the day and 60? to 62? at night.
