Decorating With Pots: Mediterranean Style

When containers look as good as these, forget about planting them, although you could insert a pot in the top and let a climbing nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) or small-leaved ivy (Hedera) spiral out and down. When arranging pots to give antiquity and impact, opt for echoing shapes that build up in height, and either give them a prominent position or half conceal them among arching ferns.
