    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    30 Containers for Covered Porches That Will Thrive in the Shade

    Some containers have all the sun. These shady planters, though, are having plenty of fun sans sun. We’ve gathered all of 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, on your porch, or around your patio, put together a pretty shade-loving container that’s also easy to care for. Plants like caladiums and creeping Jenny will thrive in the shade, and they’ll also add great color and movement to your planters. If you’re looking for the best plants for the shade and great flowers that thrive in shade, also reach for impatiens, coleus, sweet potato vines, mazus, vincas, torenias, violas, petunias, pansies, hellebores (Lenten roses), hostas, astilbes, and trilliums. They look great and will thrive in full to partial shade. Shade-loving flowers aren’t too hard to find. Ask around at your local garden store, and you’ll be able to locate the ingredients and put together any one of these shade-tolerant container ideas. Also, in regards to your container, don’t forget to think vertical. We love pots and planters, but a hanging basket is another great option, as is an elevated planter, which will make a statement and take advantage of any vertical space.

Recipe: Kale Salad with Buttermilk Dressing and Pickled Onions

"My grandmother always had a bottle of buttermilk in the fridge, and I love how it adds acidity and creaminess to this dressing." - Birmingham chef John Hall

Beets, curly kale, hardcooked eggs, and tangy pickled onions make this salad a winner. Serve it as a side for brunch as Hall suggests, or add protein to make it a full meal.

Citrus-Kale Salad

Recipe: Citrus-Kale Salad

Use your favorite citrus for this refreshing salad. We love the colorful mix and flavor combination of two navel oranges, one blood orange, and Ruby Red grapefruit. The dressing is a light and refreshing mix based on a foundation of white wine vinegar, with sugar, Dijon mustard, and honey, as well as orange juice. This all rests on a bed of kale and red onion, and is topped with creamy crumbles of cheese. Goat cheese and feta cheese both provide their own unique taste. No matter what fruit you choose, buy an extra navel orange to juice for the dressing.

Kale-and-Collards Salad

Recipe: Kale-and-Collards Salad

This tart, fresh salad brings together beautiful textures, flavors, and tastes. It mixes three of our favorite leafy vegetables—collards, kale, and radicchio—with pears, avocadoes, nuts, and bacon. To truly bring out all of the subtle flavors this salad has to offer, dress the kale and collards an hour or more in advance to tenderize them. Then, when your guests are enjoying this bracing salad, they will have the zest of lemons, the bite of greens, and the sweetness of cranberries in every mouthful.
