One Pot, One Plant
When choosing a solo performer, look for one with star quality
by June Hutson

As a gardener at the Missouri Botanical Garden, June Hutson designs many container plantings, and she often finds that single plants in pots are a great design tool. Single plants in pots make statements as accents and focal points in a garden, and there are many plants that shine when given the spotlight. In this article, June discusses the best plants for one-plant pots, how to pair the plants effectively with their pots, and how to use them to achieve different effects in the garden.
