Big, showy containers have become staples of landscape design. Today’s models come in all sizes and styles, including striking options that not only bring attention to the plants they house but to their own role as garden or lawn anchor. Here are some great examples.
 What is it?
The Glazed Mushroom Cap Pot from Ceramo.
Why should you sell it?
This attention-grabbing container offers a new slant on conventional plant presentation – quite literally. You can use it with the base pictured; plus, the company also offers elegant wooden stands that will allow you to use the planter conventionally (not slanted) and raised in the landscape. Where to find it? www.ceramousa.com
 What is it?
The Frontier Carriage Wagon from Fabtron Corp.
Why should you sell it?
This line of rustic wooden carts and wagons can be used to creatively display plants in any garden or landscape that calls for a rural or western feel. It’s a great way to mix and match color wherever it is employed. Where to find it? www.frontiercarriages.com
 What is it?
The “Green” planter line from Gainey Ceramics.
Why should you sell it?
In addition to being beautiful and functional in practically any setting (here the containers are shown as a decorative addition to the pool), Gainey containers are produced—from start to finish—using sustainable practices. Today’s customers will love that. Where to find it? www.gaineyceramics.com
 What is it?
Campania International’s Large Square Medallion Planter.
Why should you sell it?
This container is part of Campania’s ultra-lightweight Polyethylene Collection. It’s easy to move and transport, yet durable and weather-resistant—and obviously quite attractive in the landscape. Where to find it? www.campaniainternational.com
 What is it?
The Pine Tree Square Planter from Crescent Garden.
Why should you sell it?
This container is great for big, single-element plantings that draw attention to specific areas in a landscape or around a home. Here the homeowner also added lights to the plant to create a stunning, night-time effect. This could be a great way to turn a dark corner into a winning display at your garden center.
