If container plants are starting to feel like clutter, I would not buy more pots first. I would buy the few tools that make the pots easier to keep alive.
The useful pieces are not the prettiest ones. They are the things that keep you from putting off watering, trimming, labeling, and cleaning up until the patio already looks tired.

1. Hand tool set
I would look at Fiskars 3 Piece Garden Tool Set with Trowel, Transplanter and Hand Cultivator for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: I would buy a small tool set before another pot. It handles the basic jobs: loosening soil, planting, and teasing roots without using kitchen spoons outside.
When I checked it, the price note was $10.49. Availability note: Current Walmart page showed the set, visible price, and ratings.
2. Pruners
I would look at Fiskars Traditional Bypass Pruning Shears for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: Good snips keep containers looking alive. Deadheading and trimming should be easy enough that you actually do it.
When I checked it, the price note was $18.49. Availability note: Current Walmart page showed the shears, visible price, specs, and add-to-cart state.
3. Watering can
I would look at Bloem Deluxe 2 Gallon Plastic Watering Can, Mint Green for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: A two gallon can is the size I would choose for patio containers: big enough to matter, not so big that it becomes a chore to carry.
When I checked it, the price note was $27.99. Availability note: Current Walmart page showed the watering can, visible price, color option, and ratings.
4. Kneeler
I would look at Costway Folding Garden Kneeler and Seat for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: A kneeler is not glamorous, but it changes whether you put the tools away or leave the whole mess for later.
When I checked it, the price note was $26.89. Availability note: Current Walmart page showed the kneeler, sale price, ratings, and item images.
5. Seed sower
I would look at Fiskars Hand Seed Sower for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: This is the tiny piece that keeps seed packets from becoming chaos on a windy patio table.
When I checked it, the price note was $5.44. Availability note: Current Walmart page showed the seed sower, visible price, rollback note, and add-to-cart state.
6. Plant labels
I would look at Ferry-Morse Plastic Plant Labels, Reusable Durable, 25 Pack for this spot.
Why this earns its spot: Labels save the part of gardening where you swear you will remember what you planted. You will not.
When I checked it, the price note was $3.88. Availability note: Current Walmart result showed the label pack, current price, and ratings.
The order I would use
I would buy the piece that solves the daily annoyance first, then add the softer pieces only after the setup proves it is useful.
- Hand tool set
- Pruners
- Watering can
- Kneeler
- Seed sower
- Plant labels
That order keeps the space from turning into a cart full of cute things with nowhere to go.
What I would skip for now
I would skip anything that only makes the photo look fuller. No duplicate baskets, no second tray, no extra little sign, no backup lantern until the first one earns its place.
The useful pieces should do the first round of work.
