Would you like to draw even more attention to your planter 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 a handsome green planter. From small to overhanging, everything is represented.
The clematis is a beautiful choice for sunny places
Plants for sunny locations
clematis
- Growth height: up to 3 m
- Flowering period: June to August
Even if the clematis loves the sun, its roots must not get too hot. The plant feels particularly at home next to conspecifics in the planter. She gratefully accepts a climbing aid.
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. It forms an excellent visual protection. However, a climbing aid is required for healthy growth. Unfortunately, the climbing cucumber rarely produces fruit.
Plants for partial shade
blueberry
- Growth height: 30-40 cm
- Flowering period: 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 the morning and evening sun. Use fresh, slightly acidic substrate.
dwarf lilac
- Growth height: 80 cm
- Flowering period: May and October
The dark leaves of the dwarf lilac harmonize wonderfully with the pink, intensively scented flowers. If you cut back the sapling after flowering in May, there will be a second flowering in October. The high trunk makes no special demands on the location. In addition, it is 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 as a substrate. It is also advisable to add a liquid fertilizer over the irrigation water. Then the hydrangea also thrives in the shade.
shadowbell
- Growth height: 15 to 20 cm
- Flowering time: April to May
Although the shadowy bell also has a beautiful white flower in spring, the foliage is much more impressive. The dark green foliage with a white edge glows intense red during new growth. Due to its small growth height, the shadow bell is ideal for small balconies.
