    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.

Buttery biscuits—enough said. Just in case, though, you should know that Callie’s Little Hot Biscuits, made in Charleston, are small but dense bundles of love. Classic buttermilk is a winning option as is cheddar and chive. There’s also a gluten-free option, so no one has to feel left out.

The star at Caroline’s Cakes, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is the seven-layer caramel cake, but the holiday flavors, like hot cocoa (chocolate cake, whipped icing, and hot cocoa-infused buttercream) and pink Champagne, are perfect for the season.
