Which container perennials look good all year round?
Evergreen perennials like heuchera, hellebore, and dianthus add interest to your patio all year round in containers. These plants maintain their foliage throughout the seasons, providing consistent colour and texture to your patio displays.
What are the best evergreen perennials to grow on my patio?
Taking the example of those mentioned above, heuchera offers vibrant foliage in various colours, thriving in partial shade. Hellebores bloom in late winter, adding shade-tolerant colour during dormant months, with attractive evergreen leaves. Dianthus provides fragrant, multi-coloured flowers from spring to autumn, with a compact growth habit suitable for borders and containers, and is drought-tolerant. These qualities make them ideal for patio container growth.
What is the longest flowering patio perennial?
Geranium ‘Rozanne’ is one of the longest flowering patio perennials, with blooms that last from spring to autumn. Its prolific flowering makes it an excellent choice for adding enduring colour to your patio.
What soil should I use for patio perennials?
Perennial patio plants thrive with a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. Adding compost can enhance soil fertility and structure, helping to stimulate healthy root development and sustained growth. Avoid using garden soil, as it can be too heavy and might not drain well in containers.
