If you are looking for a different way to update your flower beds, try this stunning spilled flower pot idea. There are tons of beautiful ways to use broken flower pots or simply to use brand new ones to create this look. The flowing flowers can look like everything from paint to a flowing dress down a hill. These are ideal for adding unique but stunning beauty to your yard.
Spilled Flower Pot Ideas
If you are struggling with how to make your garden look different, why not try this method. These “spilled flower pots” or flowing gardens are a fun way to take ordinary flowers and turn them into works of art in your lawn or garden.
Whether you use all one color flower, mix and match flowers, or make it with just succulents, this is a great way to add a unique spin on gardening. I love the ones that have large amounts of flowers or a big rainbow of colors, but sometimes, the simple green ground covering options are all you need to create a stunning setup.
Bucket with Red Flowers by a Tree
I love this whimsical idea for adding a large urn next to a tree with pink or red flowers pilling over. The addition of a tower of rocks and a ceramic bunny pull this look together into a fairy tale design everyone loves.
Spilled Red Flowers From Rain Barrel
This idea appeals to me not just because of the beautiful flowers spilling down a little hill, but also because this property has a little rock wall “hobbit home”. This is just a lovely garden idea that could fit into any space.
Purple and Green Ceramic Spilled Flower Pot
This garden is beautiful for small areas. Lush green ground cover with pops of purple and red surrounding a rustic ceramic pot create a beautiful but imperfect garden that appeals to everyone.
Paint Tube Marigold Spilled Flowers
I absolutely love the paint idea and this features a custom paint tube near a lovely bed of marigolds. The bright orange color of the marigolds could be replaced with any color flower and “paint” to suit your region or style.
Paint Bucket Flower Pots
Painting plain flower pots with different colors of “drips” to resemble paint is a perfect way to add whimsy and beauty to a garden. This version used red, yellow, and blue with matching flowers for a stunning look. A perfect idea for a kid’s playground or garden area.
Spilled Flower Pot Red River
This red river of flowers in the midst of a rock wall looks like a river of red coming out of the corner of a wall. Such a unique look for a small space. This would be especially nice for someone who wants limited garden work.
Purple Rain Whiskey Barrel
The lovely purple flowers weave a gorgeous river along with this garden. The recycled wooden whiskey barrel is the ideal rustic look for the garden but could be replaced with an urn or large planter you preferred.
Large Rainbow Flower Waterfall
This elevated bucket garden has a rainbow of colors flowing out to look just like a waterfall. This is a stunning look to any space, and especially nice if you have a smaller garden. Elevating the bucket and flowers makes this fit almost anywhere!
Leaning Water Bucket Spilled Pot
This one is a bit different than others as it is more simple in nature. An old water bucket-style pot is leaning over on the ground with beautiful flowers flowing outward. While this doesn’t have as large an amount of flowers as others, it’s great for adding to any garden. Add more flowers or different flowers as you prefer to make it a true showpiece in the garden.
Spilled Terra Cotta Succulent Garden
This lovely small garden has a great variety of succulents and flowers surrounded by white pebbles and mulch. A great idea for a small space that struggles to grow traditional flowers, this is definitely one to try.
Floating Water Can Pouring Flowers
This project is definitely a bit more difficult to create but absolutely breathtaking. A large watering can is suspended mid-air with a stream of flowers and vines flowing downward toward the ground. The actual flowers are really growing upwards on a shrub. While duplicating this will take some engineering, the design is a definite show stopper.
Spilled Milk Flower Bed
A large milk can is laid over in a yard with lovely white flowers flowing outward as if you have simply dropped a jar of milk. This spilled milk idea is such a cute idea and really looks classy in any yard or garden while also being rustic in style.
Floral Waterfall in Red
This garden in Dubai is a stunning and detailed presentation that features flowing red flowers from green “barrels”. It is a part waterfall, part garden, and part dam unlocking to pour out the bountiful harvest of flowers. Truly stunning!
Spilling Floral Basket
A large basket is partially filled with earth for flowers to tumble out in a simple but lovely style. You could easily use any basket for this project, but know that the wicker or reed used may deteriorate faster than metal or concrete urn.
Purple Rain Wooden Barrel Garden
This simple garden was an accent outside a business. The addition of purple flowers, potentially lavender, along the center with white and green on either side is perfect. It turns ordinary flowers into something that looks just like a little lovely colored walking trail.
Wheelbarrow Waterfall of Flowers
I love this idea for setting up an old wheelbarrow in the lawn to use as a spilled bucket for your favorite flowers. This one shows how you can easily add a large variety of flowers so it almost looks like you haven’t planted them but are just hauling them around.
Spilled Urn Flowers by Tree
If you don’t have much space in your area for a garden, you can use this method to integrate a simple concrete urn with a small amount of mulch and purple or green flowers. This takes up little space, and since there is grass all around, doesn’t have to be exact.
Wicker Barrel Spilling Garden
A wicker barrel or rustic wooden ball can be filled with dirt and flowers added then poured along with a garden for a simple but beautiful waterfall of flowers. This easy spilled bucket flower idea is a super cute one that is great for a more rustic style.
Fairy Garden Floral Waterfall
This setup is a lovely little fairy garden display. The large half barrel has flowers and ground cover flowing outward and down the hill for a unique look that can be customized for the season or look of the fairy tale setup.
Moss Rose and Wishbone Flower
This idea is a great video tutorial that shows not only how to create the spilled flower design, but also some common flowers that do exceptionally well in this manner. As the flowers bloom, the bottom of the tree in this instance turns into a carpet of blooms.
