Pebbles for Planters and Flower Beds

In a planter, pebbles serve two separate purposes and the material for each is different. At the bottom, coarse stone creates drainage void. At the top, a fine decorative layer holds moisture in the soil, keeps it from washing out during watering and finishes the pot visually.

For indoor planters, a polished or tumbled top dressing in a fine grade almost always looks better than large stone, which overwhelms the scale of the pot.
