Plant size and soil requirements must be considered in your plan. For example, tomatoes won’t work because they require more soil than a strawberry planter provides.
The planter works equally well in sun or shade situations. In a shaded entry, begonias make a beautiful statement with their large flowers and trailing spider plantlets. Certain ferns do quite well in this ingenious planter. You can also combine a few shade-loving plants in a single planter that complement the trim of your house or the color of your front door.
Unless you’ve planted with perennials, you’ll need to replant each year. Also, plants like begonias are tubers which must be removed and stored properly over the winter.
