Holiday Container Garden Ideas

Holiday container gardens are the perfect solution for adding color and interest to your entryway, deck, patio, or balcony during the snowy season if you live in a cold-winter climate. Check out our beautiful holiday container garden ideas.

Follow Tradition
Red and green are traditional Christmas colors, and they look fantastic together. Here, several varieties of pine boughs and juniper combine dramatically in a bright red pot with sprays of winterberry and redtwig dogwood. Dried eucalyptus seeds, also painted red, add to the display.


Use Live Plants

Planting containers with dwarf evergreen conifers is the perfect way to decorate your garden. Purchase plants in autumn (when they're often on sale), pot them up, and water well. Keep them sufficiently moist during the winter, then plant them in your garden the following spring.

This container features a fun variety, including:

    False cypress (Chamaecyparis 'Baby Blue')
    Juniper (Juniperus virginiana 'Taylor')
    Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis)
    Variegated wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety')
    Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa 'Goldcrest')



Add Flair to Plastic Pots

Using potted evergreens is a fun way to add color. Make it easier: Instead of planting them, find creative ways to cover their plastic pots. Here, strips of birch bark do the job. You could do the same thing with sphagnum moss, woven grass blades, or grapevine.
