Five Colorful Plant Containers We Love

click thumbnails for larger pics

Although we deeply appreciate the bright dose of green plants bring to an interior, we also enjoy an equally colorful pot in which to hold them. Here are a few of our current favorite colorful plant containers...

The Grobal self-watering planter is perfect for those of us (ahem!) who occasionally forget to give our thirsty blooms a drink. We love the rainbow of available colors, too.
A cluster of Hip Haven's vintage-inspired bullet planters in each of their three sizes would look great in an empty corner of your patio or home, and with so many colors to choose from, there are bound to be a few to match any decor.
Zinc Details in San Francisco has a range of delicate planters paired with teak or metal stands that come in orange, sky blue, green, chocolate, gray, or golden olive.
We have nothing but praise for the bright yellow planter we purchased from Flora Grubb some time ago, and now that they are offering them in this vibrant blue glaze we might have to add another to our collection.
This picture doesn't quite do justice to the array of colors and sizes in which Paxton Gate's ceramic pots are offered. Stop by the store to see them all, or check out their online selection.

Coloured pots, especially blue ones, make such a big impact! http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2009/06/colour-story-blue-flower-pots/

Lily,

All the links and numbers on the bottom don't correspond to the pictures up top.

The planter pottery place in Emeryville has every size and color for half the price of the retail stores mentioned.they have the glazed ceramic type not the trendy ones in the first three pictures.

I've always loved those bullet planters..but they are a bit expensive.

The blue glazed garden plant containers are still popular over here in the UK. I used to waterproof them for use indoors but it was a bit messy and the larger sizes for indoor plants can be heavy! They now make glass fibre (GRP) look alikes with specially applied streaked finish and are totally waterproof for indoor use. They are strong, lightweight and easy to handle. I'm sure there are plenty of suppliers in the US that make them. I sell them in the UK at www.plantcontainershop.com.
