Id like to make one of those. What kind of plants do you put in the pots?

I use moss roses and petunias for this one.
I will be making another tipsy pot for my front yard....I will have to find flowers that will do well in shade.

That's quite a tall tipsy pot MGF. Once the growth really takes off it's beauty will become even more apparent  Thanks for posting it.

Tipsy pots are wonderful aren't they? They save space in the garden and look so attractive. I'm looking forward to seeing everything flower in yours.

Great tipsy pots. Brazilizn Fireworks Maracas would do excellent in the shade if you can find them, they are perfect for that size pots. I started some from seed, but haven't seen them in the nurseries.

This looks great. It's starting to look like a "must have" for all of us. Let's get tipsy-pots of course.

Seeing yours makes me want to get mine done. I have the pots but want to paint them to match the wicker furniture I am redoing so the next time I get out the paint the pots will be painted and then I can put it together.

No glue required.
I just used a piece of rebar and put the pots on. I used the hole that was in the bottom of the pot and slid them on the rebar after I hammered it in the ground.
Thanks for all the great comments!!
