(Thymus pseudolanuginosus) is a fast-growing option that’s hardy to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 28.9 degrees Celsius (zones 5 to 8). It’s happy everywhere from underfoot to spilling over a wall, and it is known for attracting butterflies, bees and beneficial insects. Small pink flowers appear in summer. Woolly thyme takes full sun, though you may need to provide some light shade in the hottest summer regions, and needs little water once established. It forms a soft mound about 2 to 3 inches high and up to 3 feet wide. Plant in light, well-drained soil and shear it back if it becomes rangy.
The horizontal trellis, which goes around much of the terrace, has several functions: As well as looking neat and providing support for any climbing plants, it also creates a soft windbreak. “It’s not solid, so it’s not like a sail — it lets some of the wind through,” Lindsay says. All the same, it had to be fixed to an L-shaped bracket under the decking to ensure it stays in place.
Bright-flowering bush lantana (Lantana camara) attract butterflies in particular, although hummingbirds and other pollinators will also frequent the blooms. In this sunny container designed by Susan Irving of The Crafted Garden, lantana and golden creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’) grow in a pot beneath a Meyer lemon tree.
Soft shield fern (Polystichum setiferum, zones 5 to 9) looks especially good planted in a woodland setting. Its shiny evergreen fronds grow horizontally, with a graceful lacy texture. Planting soft shield fern in a pot on the edge of a garden creates a nice transition from a more structured or formal portion of the garden to a wilder area.

Large container gardens have a big impact in yards and interior spaces — they bring bold foliage, colorful flowers and seasonal interest wherever they’re placed. However, large vessels swallow a lot of potting soil at planting time, making them expensive, heavy and cumbersome to move. This spring, steal a trick from the pros by adding a lightweight filler material to the bottom of your large or medium containers. You’ll save money on soil, lighten containers and set up plants to thrive. Farmhouse Exterior by McCullough's Landscape & Nursery McCullough's Landscape & Nursery Why Use a Filler Material? Empty milk cartons or other lightweight fillers can be used to partially fill large or medium containers, cutting down on potting soil, lightening the weight of the container and creating a be...
. All foliage. This easy-care combination of leafy plants provides a lush backdrop for a New York City deck. Sticking with all foliage plants, chosen in dynamic colors and contrasting textures, adds interest while saving the trouble of pinching spent blooms. Here, the designer used grassy ‘Ice Dance’ sedge (Carex ‘Ice Dance’, zones 5 to 9), deep purple heuchera (Heuchera ‘Plum Pudding’, zones 4 to 9) and creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia, zones 3 to 9) to spill over the sides. Water requirement: Moderate Light requirement: Partial shade More Colorful Plant Combos for Shade Gardens Find a landscape designer on Houzz Browse outdoor pots and planters
Green goddess. There aren’t many succulents that thrive in shady conditions, but among those that do, aeoniums, like the one featured in this container, steal the show. Use a large-scale one, like Aeonium ‘Mint Saucer’ (zones 9 and up), to anchor a container combination like an oversize flower would. Here, the edges of the container have been filled in with shade-loving plants that bring a contrasting textural element, including feathery foxtail fern (Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myers’, zones 9 to 11) and grass-like golden sweet flag (Acorus gramineus ‘Ogon’, zones 5 to 9). Water requirement: Low to moderate; don’t let Aeonium sit in soggy soil Light requirement: Partial shade to bright indirect light
Otherworldly vignette. Almost like a scene out of Jurassic park or a glimpse of a primordial forest floor, this creative container combination evokes a feeling of mystery. The designer relied on all foliage plants to get the look, including tropical bird’s nest fern (Asplenium sp.), silvery brunnera, black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’, zones 5 to 10), golden oxalis and evergreen maidenhair fern. The contrast of the bright silver and chartreuse stands out in the low-light setting and against the dark ceramic container. Water requirement: Moderate to regular Light requirement: Partial shade; designer Glenna Partridge recommends two hours of sun per day
. Summer color. This container combination would bring bright blooms and delicate, ferny foliage to a mild-climate garden with dappled light. Plants featured in this arrangement include white-flowering peace lily (Spathiphyllum sp.), pink impatiens and begonias and Sprenger’s asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’, zones 9 to 11). Peace lily only thrive outdoors in very mild climates (zones 11 to 12). Chinese foxglove (Rehmannia elata, zones 7 to 10) is another tall flower that’s more cold-hardy and can grow in a shady container. Water requirement: Moderate to regular; keep the soil moist for impatiens and begonia Light requirement: Partial to full shade
4. Chartreuse, pink and silver. This brightly colored container garden in Orange County, California, would make a pretty accent for a partially shaded patio or porch. Plants include bi-colored lime and burgundy coleus, variegated ivy, pink-flowering begonia and a cascade of ‘Silver Falls’ dichondra (Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’, zones 9 to 11). Designer Sacha McCrae notes that the containers are watered once a week at most and benefit from the moisture of the coastal California climate. Water requirement: Low, if container is in full to partial shade; moderate water if in brighter light Light requirement: Partial shade; designer reports less than one hour of direct sunlight per day
. Bountiful blooms. A combination of part-shade-loving coral flowers makes a welcoming statement at the entrance of this home in Portland, Maine. Hummingbirds love the tubular flowers of Fuchsia ‘Gartenmeister Bonstedt’, which bloom from early summer to fall. Orange-pink tuberous begonias and maidenhair fern, with its delicate foliage, fill in the container below. Water requirement: Moderate to regular; keep soil moist Light requirement: Partial shad
Plant for shade Other plants in this combination include: plum-colored heuchera (Heuchera sp.), pale pink gaura (Gaura lindheimeri, Zone 5), lime-green sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas, zones 9 to 11), purple flowering angelonia (Angelonia sp.), hellebore (Helleborus sp., zones 4 to 9) and trailing ‘Silver Falls’ dichondra (Dichondra argentea ‘Silver Falls’, zones 9 to 11).
