How to Choose the Right Outdoor Plants

Choosing outdoor plants is easier when you think about how you actually use your space, how much sun it gets, and how much time you want to spend looking after it. A few well-chosen plants will always do more than lots of ones that are not quite right.

  • If you want something easy, hardy perennials and evergreen shrubs are a solid place to start
  • For brighter displays, mixing flowering plants with leafy plants helps colours stand out more
  • Patios and balconies suit compact plants and shrubs that are happy growing in pots
  • To support bees and other wildlife, plants like lavender and flowering herbs are a great choice
  • For shape and structure, combining shrubs, grasses, and climbers adds depth to planting

Good positioning, free-draining soil, and regular watering at the start are usually all that is needed. Once settled, most outdoor plants grow happily and reward you with steady, healthy growth.

Many outdoor plants grow happily on balconies, especially compact shrubs, herbs, perennials, and grasses. Containers make it easier to manage soil and watering. The main thing to check is how much sun your balcony gets during the day.
