Perennials like lavender, coneflowers, and sedum are great choices for container gardening. Consider sunlight, watering needs, and container size when selecting plants.
For shady areas, hostas and ferns are excellent perennial options. Mix different textures and heights for visual interest in your patio displays.
Lavender adds fragrance and attracts pollinators, while coneflowers provide vibrant colors. Sedum is low-maintenance and perfect for cascading over the edges of containers.
Consider using ornamental grasses like fountain grass or blue fescue to add movement and structure to your container arrangements. These grasses are drought-tolerant and easy to care for.
When designing your patio displays, think about color combinations and plant pairings that complement each other. Group plants with similar water and sunlight requirements together for easier maintenance.
Experiment with different perennial flowers each season to keep your container gardens fresh and exciting. Regularly deadhead spent blooms and fertilize as needed for healthy, long-lasting displays.
