30 Containers for Covered Porches That Thrive in the Shade
Some containers have all the sun. Although, these shady planters are having plenty of fun without it. Plants like caladiums and creeping Jenny will thrive in the shade and add great color and movement to your planters. Shade-loving flowers aren't too hard to find. Try impatiens, coleus, sweet potato vines, vincas, violas, petunias, pansies, hostas, astilbes, and trilliums. They look great and will thrive in full to partial shade.
Ask around at your local garden store, and you'll be able to locate any one of these shade-tolerant container ideas. Don't forget to think vertical when designing your containers. We love pots and planters, but a hanging basket is a great elevated planter option, which will make a statement and take advantage of any vertical space.
We gathered our favorite shade-loving containers to inspire your planting this season. If you have a shady yard or want to perk up a shaded spot in your home, at your front door, porch, or around your patio, find a pretty, easily-managed shade-loving container plant.
