What makes a great  container garden ? 

Its not the type of plant, it's the selection.  A good rule of thumb is, something tall, something small, and something to cascade.  Here the selections  are based on color and texture. The bronze red foliage of the cannas are tall and bold, the coleus add texture in the leaf design for something small to fill the base, accented with light colored ivy to give the container a lush full look.
