What plants are easy to grow in pots?
Select Suitable Plants: For containers, herbs like basil, parsley, thyme, mint, and cilantro are ideal, along with compact vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, radishes, and peppers. Flowers like marigolds, petunias, and pansies can also add vibrant color to your garden. Container vegetable gardens that feature companion plants often include herbs or flowers. For instance, plant cabbage or broccoli with mint, which helps to deter pesky cabbage moths. These combinations can look beautiful, too. Try planting white and green variegated mint alongside red cabbage.
