Love the idea of container gardening, but afraid to invest a lot of money in live plants that may turn into dead plants within a week or so of potting them?
If so, here are eight plants that are almost impossible to kill. In fact, they will thrive without a bunch of fussing and puffing, so make sure you take this list with you when shopping at your local garden center or nursery.
Let's get started!
1.) Wave Petunia - a trailing plant that comes in pink, purple, yellow, red, white, and apricot.
2.) Scaveola - this plant has blue-purple fan-shaped blossoms and looks great in a container. A favorite of gardeners and butterflies.
3.) Coleus - this plant grows in shade or sun, depending on the variety and comes in color variations of lime green to blood red.
4.) Verbena - this plant loves to cascade over pots and blooms with tiny, wonderfully fragrant white, pink, and purple flowers.
5.) Sweet Potato Vine - this plant is known as an ornamental vine and grows well in shade or sun.
6.) Agave - this plant loves the sun and can exist for long periods of time without water.
7.) Mandevilla - this plant grows high, so make sure you include a trellis or a climbing wall in the pot when you plant it.
8.) Bacopa - this plant is a vine that blooms all summer and requires plenty of water to support its growth.
