THRILLER, FILLER, SPILLER CONTAINER GARDENING
Using a combination of plants from these three categories will ensure a beautiful and well-rounded container garden.
Thriller plants add height and drama and should be placed in either the back or center of container.
Filler Plants make the container look full and should be placed around the thriller.
