However, four key concerns have to be considered before buying the containers:
Provision for Drainage:
Ensure that the pots or potential container you are planning to buy have provision for draining out the water, as most of the potted plants do not like to be in waterlogged or soggy soil. Turn over every pot or container to see that they have drainage holes. If not you may have to create one using awl or drilling machine. Of course you can grow plants without drainage hole but you have to take adequate care so that the roots do not remain soaked in the water.
Choosing Design & Color of containers:
Color of pots plays a vital role in adding glamour and style to the whole area. Of course, the selection of containers will depend on accent of the theme. If the accent is to display the colourful plants, flowers and foliage then it is preferable to go in for neutral hue like white, grey, brown or plain green. This allows the plants to be in the limelight. If the accent is on displaying the exotic design and color of pots and containers then, it will be a good idea to select vivid and vibrant patterned containers which will add drama and excitement to otherwise ordinary plant display.
Life span of pots

Whether it will be long term feature of your yard or garden or is it only for just one summer or whether you want to leave the pots exposed to elements all winter. Cheap pots are less durable and cannot hold for long as it starts developing cracks and would break or fade when exposed to sunlight for a longer period of time. Heavier pots are of course more expensive but would last longer.
