Front Door Flowers...Everywhere!

Cottage-style front porch gardens are romantic and colorful. Use an eclectic mix of perennial blooms planted to look naturally random. Consider adding window boxes and a wagon or container to your front porch. Plant them with colorful, traditional flowers like petunias, begonias and verbena.

Elegant Front Door Flower Pots

Flower pots can be classy. The key is placement and planning. Use a mix of large and small pots and blooms. Plant several pots the same way for symmetry. To place, create a cascade down from the door. Tall in back, small in front. Never leave a small pot out by itself. Tuck it in with larger pots or group small pots together.

Simple Summer Door Decorations

There's nothing wrong with keeping it simple. Two pots of matching flowers on a bench can be enough. The key is to keep other decorations to a minimum. Here, the chair and bench are painted to match. The only other decorations are simple wooden oars. Nothing distracts from the potted plants.

A Front Porch Flower Pot Garden!

Who says herbs and vegetables have to be in a garden? Plant a tiered garden for your front porch. Use terra cotta pots. Herbs, lettuces and micro greens work in smaller pots. To continue the theme, use strawberries, tomatoes and even carrots in larger planters, or plant edible flowers.

Skip the Floral Door Wreath

Some doors just don't need a wreath. But there's still a place for flowers. If you love symmetry and matching, use 3 coordinating pots and plant them identically. Here, lower pots placed on a step are the perfect touch.
