I am looking for some nice plants to make a statement in some large pots. Besides geraniums... what else?

Petunias are wonderful in large pots. They flow over the edges giving them a waterfall look. And they come in so many different colors.

Marigolds, small sunflowers, african violets... the list goes on... really it is what gets you and not anyone else... you ultimately are going to have to pot it, water it and trim it back. I would try to go with your favorite color and what gives you a flutter in your heart.... Also why not try an herb garden or veggies in your pots. Nothing wrong with potting tomatoes and herbs...
Reply:If your patient and can wait try planting creeping phlox. They will continue to grow in the pot year after year and they will pour over the side of the pot giving it a very dramatic flowing look.

You could plant Irises in the middle of the phlox for an even more eyecatching look.
Reply:I have some red "elation dianthus" in hanging baskets outside my house and they look really nice. Dianthus comes in many colors and varieties and does well in containers. This is what it looks like:
