Plants for small pots

Morning all, 

I have 3 small pots that I would like to fill, I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions which plants to use.

I haven't measured the pots but all I would say are at least over 9" width if this makes sense.

Thanks image

    9"/10" pots aren't really small.
    What would you like to grow in them?
    Will they be in sun  or shade?
    You could mix herbs and flowers if it's a sunny position - I've got a planter with Mediterranean herbs and swan river daisies which always looks good in the summer

    I've got several pots around that size with various plants in them-

    I am biased because I love them,but I would use lots of succulents and especially sempervivums.

    Hardy ones if the pots are outside all the time or tender ones if you can overwinter inside.

    p.s. These are not mine! I wish they were!!!
