They can also be an awesome addition to your garden.As for me, I am thinking of going in on potted flowers and plants because I can rearrange them easily. I can also change them up more easily like if am not feeling a certain flower, I can always pull it out and replant something else.Pots are also great for those of us with limited space.

You can also decide to choose hanging ones or not, the choice is informed by where you intend to place them.AngeloniaThe Angelonia is also known as the summer snapdragon.
