I found this chair at a garage sale 2 years ago for $1.00. I have been wanting to make it into a planter now I'm finally finished. Found the paint that lowes that they tinted for me, it was on clearance for $5.00 bc it didn't have a tag. I have been waiting patiently for outdoor paint. Then I found the paint marker at Michael's...Total project price under $10.00. I'm so excited to put it outside, fill with dirt and watch the flowers bloom!

You could plant a combination of annuals that includes sweet potato vine. Also blackeyed susan vine or other flowering vines.

Pots of the 3 different sweet potato vines look wonderful. One is dark, almost black and there is the normal green, and a gorgeous lime green one.

Wow that looks amazing. I planted sweet potato vine and coleus last year in a bed that I spent a lot of time fixing the soil and all the plants did amazing the sweet potato vine actually ran halfway down the front walkway.
