I’m replacing my flower boxes with colorful pots along the side of my house. I want many different colors, shapes, and sizes. I also want to vary the height of the pots. This area will be blacktop underneath and vinyl siding along the house. What should I use? I thought of painted cinderblocks, but maybe there’s a product out there that I’m unaware of. Thanks!
