I love pots to plant perennials in! And annuals, too. Pots can add so much in the way of focal point interest, providing for unusual soil requirements, and the ability to move blooming plants where you need them.
Counter-clockwise: yellow-throated pink calibrachoa, salmon-pink diascia, plum-colored Martha Washington geraniums, pink zinnia from seed, White Diamond euphorbia, and neon pink annual vinca.
You can hardly see the pots, above, for the Sweet Georgia Deep Purple ipomea, the frilly white lilies, pink verbena, and purple perennial heliotrope. Another pot holds yellow violas, and yet another is filled with pink- purple and lime green coleus. These pots are clustered on the vinca-draped railroad-tie stairs leading up from my back door.

Geraniums, red calibrachoa, and white verbena in an interesting blue pot.
