Shade container plants\u2026<\/h2>\n

Spring is here and we\u2019re all under a stay-at-home order<\/a>. Besides food, the one other thing constantly on my mind is the beautiful Spring weather upon us and the idea of getting my hands into the dirt. Maybe it\u2019s a reminder of life continuing on, but I can\u2019t wait to get some annuals, perennials and even shrubs into pots on the deck and the porch. We spend a lot of time on our covered front porch in the summer and although bright, there is no direct light. I love coming up with new ideas for beautiful container plants for the shade. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I always seem to prefer to keep things simple and natural looking. At least that\u2019s what I end up liking the most. A couple of my favorite shady spot pots are actually perennials. A hosta looks great in a pot, whether it\u2019s a big variety or a small one like this mini chartreuse one above. I also really love Brunerra Jack Frost (below). I\u2019ve put it alone in a rustic style pot or added it to impatiens for a sweet combination. It has such a nice woodland look, I think. And they are slug resistant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

They\u2019ll each come back every year, just make sure you keep them in a shady spot where they can get rained on all winter long. But if you do leave them out, make sure it\u2019s in a pot recommended for outdoor use and able to withstand the freezing and thawing outside. I haven\u2019t made it to the garden center yet (staying home and staying safe) but these two beauties are already growing and I didn\u2019t have to do a thing this Spring.<\/p>\n

Coleus<\/h2>\n

One of my favorite shade container plants are coleus. Mix a few different varieties together and you have a bright, beautiful pot to brighten up any space. Or use them along with other plant combinations in a container. There are tall varieties as well as trailing ones.<\/p>\n

A little more inspiration\u2026<\/h2>\n

Of course, there are always impatiens.<\/p>\n

\n

I loved this smaller variety of elephant ear I put in this tall pot one year. It was happy with a bit of morning sun but isn\u2019t necessary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For hanging plants in shade there are also fuschias and ferns to keep us happy<\/p>\n

\n

And don\u2019t forget small shrubs as well. As long as you water them over the winter months or they are in a spot where they will get rain you can enjoy them year after year. Check out these potted hydrangeas.<\/p>\n
