Are Roses Poisonous to Cats?
Some containers have all the sun. These shady planters, though, are having plenty of fun sans sun. Weve gathered all of our favorite shade-loving containers to inspire your planting this season. If you have a shady yard or want to perk up a shaded spot in your home, at your front door, on your porch, or around your patio, put together a pretty shade-loving container thats also easy to care for. Plants like caladiums and creeping Jenny will thrive in the shade, and theyll also add great color and movement to your planters. If youre looking for the best plants for the shade and great flowers that thrive in shade, also reach for impatiens, coleus, sweet potato vines, mazus, vincas, torenias, violas, petunias, pansies, hellebores (Lenten roses), hostas, astilbes, and trilliums. They look great and will thrive in full to partial shade. Shade-loving flowers arent too hard to find. Ask around at your local garden store, and youll be able to locate the ingredients and put together any one of these shade-tolerant container ideas. Also, in regards to your container, dont forget to think vertical. We love pots and planters, but a hanging basket is another great option, as is an elevated planter, which will make a statement and take advantage of any vertical space.
