Vine Trellis in a Pot
Opt for plants that grow fast but won't outgrow the container during the growing season. In this topiary, golden hops provide pyramidal architecture, while morning-glories shoot out colorful blooming runners. This plant combination works best if you plant after the first frost; expect foliage until fall.

- Terra-cotta pot
