What flowers would grow better in pots?

we are moving soon from a house with a grass garden to a house with a garden that is completely paved. we are not the best gardeners in the world lol. is there a particular type of flower that grows better in a pot or will anything grow well?. also i have to leave my flowering japanese cherry tree behind. which saddens me as it was well established and i love that type of foilage. could i find something similar to the flowering japanese cherry?


any ideas gratefully appreciated


thanks :)

Hi,





Most plants/shrubs will do well planted into pots.





we also have a garden that is paved, with several trough planters filled with flowers and shrubs.





Lavender, herbs, ferns, grass, ivy, jasmine, daff bulbs to name just a few !!





I have found a web site that may be of some interest to you.

Good luck with the move %26amp; happy gardening

Reply:Any flower that has short roots would grow best in pots but not anything bigger.
Reply:Geraniums and pelargoniums do very well in pots, as do pansies and violas, petunias, snapdragons, nasturtiums, and herbs.
Reply:Generally plants will grow in pots, not trees or bushes though as they have large roots.
