Outdoor pots provide gardeners with a great way to add a variety of plants to their outdoor space. With the right pot and the right plants, you can create an eye-catching and vibrant display that will bring beauty and life to your garden.
When it comes to deciding what plants to grow in your large outdoor pots, there are many options available. Some of the most popular plants that do well in large outdoor pots include annuals, perennials, vegetables, succulents, and ornamental grasses.
Annuals are flowering plants that grow for one season only. They are often planted in the spring and will thrive throughout the summer months until they die off when the weather turns cold again.
They tend to be very colorful and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Popular annuals for large outdoor pots include petunias, impatiens, begonias, and marigolds.
Perennials are flowering plants that live for more than two years. Unlike annuals, they don’t require replanting each spring as they will return year after year with minimal care. Popular perennial choices for large outdoor pots include lavender, daisies, black-eyed Susans, and coreopsis.
Vegetables can also be grown in large outdoor pots as long as they are given enough room to spread out their roots and enough sunlight each day. Popular vegetable choices include tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, squash, kale and spinach.
Succulents are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance care requirements and unique shapes and colors. Succulents prefer warm climates with plenty of sun exposure so they work well in larger outdoor pots located on balconies or patios where they can get plenty of sunlight each day. Some popular succulent varieties for large outdoor pots include aloe vera, hens-and-chicks (sempervivum), echeveria agavoides, crassula ovata (jade plant), kalanchoe blossfeldiana (Flaming Katy) ,and sedum morganianum (donkey tail).
Ornamental Grasses provide texture and movement to an otherwise static environment making them an ideal choice for large outdoor pots where they can be used as a backdrop or focal point of your display. Popular varieties include pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum’), mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus), blue fescue (Festuca glauca) ,and liriope spicata (monkey grass).
Conclusion:
No matter what type of look you are trying to achieve with your large outdoor pot there is sure to be a plant that will fit your needs perfectly! Annuals offer vibrant colors while perennials add charm year after year; vegetables bring edible bounty; succulents provide unique shapes; while ornamental grasses add texture and movement – all perfect for providing beauty in any garden design!
