Natives that Thrive in Containers
Enjoy native plants in colorful containers and later in your garden.
Most native plants that tolerate dry sites will thrive in summer containers. Choose from sun loving, dry site plants for containers that receive four or more hours of sun per day. Shade tolerant, dry site plants will work in your shady containers. For a unique, temporary water feature on your deck, try water-loving native plants. Move plants from containers to your garden and replace with others as needed throughout the summer.
