Shades of Pale: 10 Favorite Patio Pots and Planters

Start typing to search...

This summer, we’re choosing a classic, unobtrusive color–that would be white, or perhaps the palest of grays–for patio pots and planters. If you use a monochromatic color scheme, you can mix and match size, styles, and materials without looking mismatched. And a white backdrop will focus attention on the plants that produced all that beautiful green foliage.

Here are 10 white patio pots and planters we’re currently coveting:
