Geraniums are easy to grow and come in a variety of colors.

Some vine and have single flowers while others have flower heads that rise above deep green foliage. Both are used here.

The Philodendron is an easy-to grow vine that for container gardens that see only partial sunlight.

Their green or variegated leaves are toxic to children and pets.

Sweet Peas are beloved perennials with dainty pink, white and purple flowers. Their vining tendencies make them a great filler for containers.

Lobelia comes in white, yellow, purple and pink. The dainty flowers and fern-like foliage last the entire season and are a favorite of gardeners everywhere.

Begonias have vibrant colored blooms and interesting foliage. This double-flowered variety self-cleans and blooms until frost. You can propagate new plants from stem cuttings.

English Ivy will add an interesting element to your container garden with its heart-shaped leaves and trailing vines.
