Plant breeders have developed a number of dwarf or pixie hybrids for container gardening. These are the plants you should grow if you can. Small or dwarf varieties will have less of a root mass and less of shoot mass. This is what you want when you're growing plants in containers. Check some seed catalogs for these types of plants.

Although often overlooked for container gardening, the lisianthus certainly cannot be overlooked once it blooms! A late bloomer, Lisianthus seed is dust particle size and may take up to three weeks to germinate; once it does, you may have to wait for another 18 weeks to see a bloom. If you are thinking of transplanting lisianthus next spring, the time to start seeds of lisianthus is now.

You can design a container garden just like you would a backyard garden, except it's much easier because you can move it around. Try grouping different sizes and heights together for a design that is pleasing to the eye (see Secrets For Creative Containers). Also, if you have the right plants, like herbs, you can plant several of them together in the same container, just make sure you allow enough room for them to grow.
