If you want to intentionally draw the eye to a particular spot, don’t be afraid to use a bolder color (such as deep red). By placing brightly colored flowers in and around the pot, you will also help it to blend in. Image if you had an all green garden with a big bright yellow pot stuck in the middle. All your focus would be pointed at the pot and not the plants.

Another way to use garden pots is to clump small to mid-sized pots together into groups. This will also draw your eye to these areas. You will have a lot of flexibility with grouped pots. You can use different sizes, shapes and colors to make a drab area more interesting. To blend in the group, the same techniques used for a large garden pot applies. Be sure to plant in between the pots as well.

If you happen to have a large garden pot that is cracked on the bottom, you can either cut the bottom off with a hand-held tile cutter or dig a hole large enough to accommodate the pot and stick the pot in so it is buried half way into the ground. This is a good way to add a mid level to your garden which can lead the eye from taller pots to lower ground cover.
