15 Best Patio Plants for a Lush Outdoor Space
Whether you have a teeny postage-stamp-sized patio or a spacious courtyard, container plants add a splash of color and seasonal beauty to your outdoor space. It’s easy to find the best patio plants for your home—you just need to note a few things. For starters, check out how much sun your patio gets at different times of day. Is it sunny all day long, or only in the morning? Or does it tend to be shady for most of the day? It’s important to figure out what kind of light you have before shopping for plants, because you’ll never be able to put a plant that loves shade on a hot, sunny patio or a plant that loves sun in the shade. They simply won’t thrive—no matter how much you coddle them!
