Container Plants

Whether you have limited garden space or you'd like to enhance decks and patios with plants, growing fruits and vegetable plants in containers is a great option. Direct Gardening offers fig trees, blueberry bushes, pepper plants and other plants for sale that grow well in containers. These varieties are often more compact than other varieties. Most plants that produce edible fruits and vegetables grow best when they receive full sun (six or more hours of direct sunlight daily). When selecting the best plants for container gardening, some factors to consider are their hardiness zone, soil requirements, mature height and spread, and harvest time.
