Is Your Porch or Patio Bare and Boring? Grow Hanging Plants Outdoors
Do you want a quick and easy way to dress up a dull porch, deck or patio? Try hanging plants outdoors. Big, lush ferns are good choices for a large area, while small baskets of flowering begonias or variegated pothos make nice accents for nooks and niches.
To find the best outdoor hanging plants for your space, think about your growing conditions. For a shady porch, consider staghorn ferns, impatiens or trailing fuchsias. If your deck gets full sun, kalanchoes, geraniums and various types of ornamental grasses should thrive for you. Add bright, bold color to your pool, patio or backyard with bougainvilleas, mandevillas and other tropical hanging plants. Not sure how to start?
