Well - the recipe is a tall plant, some filler / mid level plants and some draping/vining plants.
And then match the colors. I just started using perennials in the last couple of years. In particular
I've found heucheras are wonderful for their folliage.

This is beginner stuff so I apologize if its too obvious, but you also need to fertilize very often.
I didn't know this my first year of container gardening and the flowers just petered out after a
month or so.

Here's another fun container - not sure sure its a stellar example of planting recipe. Another
heuchera, diascia and a bronze carex that wasn't big enough here to service the tall function here.
