    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.

It’s been a year like no other, which is why—more than ever before—we’re looking forward to celebrating the advent of a new year. Come January 1st, we’ll be welcoming 2021 with arms wide open, and we’ll also be sending our best wishes to friends and family. This year, instead of gathering together to celebrate, we’re sending treats to loved ones near and far. Whether it’s a selection of cheeses from Thomasville, Georgia’s Sweetgrass Dairy; a cooler full of ice creams from Savannah’s Leopold’s Ice Cream; or an assortment of spices from Spicewalla in Asheville, North Carolina, there’s a delicious gift that will remind friends and family that they’re loved this year and forever. Celebrate the New Year by sending your loved ones a special treat and welcome the New Year along with us. Happy 2021! For more gifting ideas, check out these homemade food gifts for any occasion and these regional food gifts perfect for the holidays.
