You want to highlight your planter even more with beautiful plants. The only question is which plants are suitable for this. On this page you will find a selected list of versatile examples of attractive plant pot greenery. From short to overhanging, everything is represented.
Plants for sunny locations
Clematis
- Growth height: up to 3 m
- Flowering period: June to August
Although the clematis loves the sun, its roots must not get too warm. The plant feels particularly at home next to other species in the planter. She gratefully accepts a trellis.
climbing cucumbers
- Growth height: up to 8 m
- Flowering time: May
With a growth height of up to 8 m, the climbing cucumber is recommended for large planters. However, it provides excellent privacy protection. However, a climbing aid is required for he althy growth. Unfortunately, the climbing cucumber rarely produces fruit.
Plants for partial shade
Blueberry
- Growth height: 30-40 cm
- Flowering time: June and August
The beautiful bloom in early or mid-summer is followed by the true treasure of a blueberry as a container plant. The bright blue fruits delight with their wonderful sweetness. You should only expose the plant to morning and evening sun. Use fresh, slightly acidic substrate.
Dwarf Lilac
- Growth height: 80 cm
- Flowering time: May and October
The dark leaves of the dwarf lilac harmonize wonderfully with the pink, intensely scented flowers. If you cut the tree back after it has bloomed in May, it will bloom again in October. The standard tree does not place any particular demands on the location. It is also very resistant to diseases.
Plants with low light requirements
hydrangeas
- Growth height: up to 1 m
- Flowering period: June to September
Be sure to use acidic soil (€20.00 on Amazon) as a substrate. It is also recommended to add a liquid fertilizer to the irrigation water. Then the hydrangea also thrives in the shade.
Shadowbells
- Growth height: 15 to 20 cm
- Flowering period: April to May
Although the shadow bell also has a beautiful white flower in spring, the leaf decoration is much more impressive. The dark green foliage with a white edge glows intensely red during new growth. The shadow bell is ideal for small balconies due to its low growth height.
