My own house is definitely lacking in terms of curb appeal (the front yard transformation on my fixer upper is a process!) so I’ve been scouring my favorite online sources for beautiful pots and planters to spruce up my front porch. Target is a great place to find tons of different pots and planters, whether you want a classic style with timeless appeal or a contemporary and trnedy aesthetic for your budget container garden.
Here are the best pots and planters available at Target right now that will make passersby stop to take a second look at your front porch. These options look high-end, but can fit into almost any budget – and several of them are on sale now, too!
Best Budget Pots & Planters
These stylish pots and planters from Target fit any budget and outdoor decor aesthetic. You can use them to grow a container vegetable garden that’s equally beautiful and delicious. Or fill them with long-blooming summer annuals or potted perennial plants for a colorful display that will make your neighbors green with envy.
New Takes on Timeless Classics
These planters and pots are made from classic materials or hearken back to longstanding styles that gardeners have loved for decades, but with a contemporary touch.
This ceramic pot is a unique update on a classic terracotta pot. The clay is slightly lighter and more neutral than your typical orange terracotta, which makes this pot even more versatile for a variety of home styles, paint colors, and planting color schemes. It comes with a drainage hole, so your plants won’t drown during summer rainstorms or regular watering. I love the unique carved shape that gives this pot a modern edge without straying too far from the timeless flowerpot look.
Seashore-inspired mermaidcore decor is the big trend of the summer, so if you’re looking to bring a little nautical whimsy into your garden then this is the planter for you. The seafoam-colored glaze and rope detailing on this ceramic pot will make you feel like you’re sitting at a beachside resort in your own backyard. It would look equally lovely on a front porch or back patio with green foliage spilling out over the scalloped edge.
Another big trend this summer, especially in outdoor living, is wicker and rattan. This classic material is making a big comeback in everything from outdoor storage benches to pots and planters like this one. This woven basket planter isn’t the classic wicker weave, but it provides the same earthy element with a more modern pattern. This planter doesn’t have a drainage hole, so it’s best to slip a smaller pot inside of it and use this as a decorative outer pot.
Modern Planters for Trendy Gardeners
If you want a planter that looks like it belongs in an art museum, look no further. This ultra-modern ceramic pot with a textured jet black finish is a conversation starter. It would look so cool on a front porch filled with succulents or indoors holding a unique tropical houseplant. It is a bit on the smaller side with a diameter of 9.25 inches (23.5 cm), so pair it with other larger planters for an eclectic front porch full of summer plants.
Going to spend some time out of town this summer? Then this square concrete-look self-watering planter is exactly what you need to give your front porch a boost of curb appeal with minimal effort. Fill this tall, elegant planter with your favorite summer annuals, water, then relax on your vacation. No one will ever know you’re not home because your plants will continue to thrive and stay hydrated from the self-watering reservoir at the bottom of this pot.
At 21 inches (53 cm) tall and 12 inches wide (30 cm) this faux terracotta pot adds vertical interest to any front porch container display. Its height makes it perfect for long, trailing plants like sweet potato vine or burro’s tail. This modern planter is made with post-consumer recycled plastic material, but looks like terracotta. It’s a perfect blend of contemporary and traditional, making it a good fit for a variety of different home designs from mid-century modern to a classic cape cod.
