The winter heather is not only hardy, it even flowers in winter

Evergreen hardy tub plants

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

In spring, lavender attracts numerous hard-working insects to the garden with its violet blossoms. Its shoots smell intense and have a calming effect. In order for the lavender to survive the winter, you must remove the withered branches in the fall.

Cranesbill (Geranium hybrid 'Rozanne')

Due to the characteristic shape of its flower, the cranesbill got its name. This comes in many colors so that you can integrate your planter and the plant perfectly into your garden.

Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)

The cherry laurel is suitable for somewhat larger gardens. Despite its growth height of up to 5 m, it can also be cultivated in a planter. Its white flowers form an interesting contrast to the dark green foliage.

Hardy container plants for small gardens

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba Mariken)

Even gardeners who have little space do not have to do without decorative potted plants. The Ginko impresses with the following properties:

  • yellow leaves
  • incised leaves
  • fan shaped foliage

Fragrant Lilac (Palibin)

Although this container plant has a very delicate growth, it attracts bees to the garden like no other plant. No wonder it bears the name scented lilac. Its violet flowers are reminiscent of lavender. However, it flowers in late summer and is also available as a standard.

Early flowering hardy potted plants

Winter heather (Erica carnea)

If you want to add some color to your garden in January, winter heath, also known as snow heath, is the best choice. With conscientious care, the flower will remain until April.
