Annuals
If you want plants that flower quickly and provide a long season of blooms, then you should choose annuals. They are among the most adaptable of garden plants, demanding little more than good light, sufficient water, and reasonably fertile soil. Even if your conditions fall short of this ideal, you will likely find annuals that will work for you. In fact, some of the most striking annual gardens are found in what would appear to be the most inhospitable sites.
Houseplants
Houseplants bring color and life to any room in your house. As ornamental as houseplants are, many also provide health benefits by purifying the air and increasing humidity. Flowering houseplants add color and even scent into your decor. Many houseplants can survive on the most minimal attention.
Herbs & Vegetables
Most vegetables and herbs adapt well to growing in containers. In fact, many plants will actually do better in containers than if planted directly into the garden. For example, in cold climates, heat-loving vegetables like peppers and eggplant thrive in containers, because the container and soil are warmed by the sun. Also, you can use a soil mix specially suited to each type of plant.
