Ideal for small gardens, terraces and yards in which large parts are made of concrete: these plants will be easily nurtured, and you will receive an unusual and interesting decoration! When you say “potted plants”, the first association are oleander or brugmansia.
If you did not know, in addition to them there are a whole range of well-known beauties. Some were rightly classified as enemy plants because they are complex and you will need great passion to make them flourish.
However, a series of plants is amazingly easy to grow.
1. The true star is the Australian brugmansia (Iochroma australe): It is a real outsider. There are varieties of Australian brugmansia which have blue flowers. At the same time, this floral plant is very easy to maintain. During the summer it thrives in half-shade, and in the winter it is sufficient to move the pot in the garage . The purple flowers of Australian brugmansia (Acnistus) are only 5 cm long, but they appear in much greater numbers during the summer until autumn.
2. Acerola cherry is very appreciated because of the large amounts of vitamin C in its fruits. The robust plant thrives in pots. The fruits ripen in the summer for a few weeks.
3. Lovers of tropical plants already know the fragrant of frangipani (Plumeria). Especially beautiful are the varieties with white-yellow leaves.
4. Polygala has a long flowering period. With a sufficient amount of light through the whole year it shows purple flowers and also it remains compact growth without pruning.
5. Grewia is a beauty very easy to take care for, which grows with just a bit of sun. Its flowers attract butterflies, and the fruits are edible.
6. Clerodendrum flowers are so cute, and so low maintenance! For a sufficient amount of water and fertilizer they will thank you with gorgeous flowers. If you cut the tips you will keep the bush compact.
These cute unknowns are the icing on the cake in every successfully decorated terrace with flowers in pots. Classics like oleander and laurel form the design, complemented by accompanying plants such as geranium. But the real stars are striking, strange plants that we presented.
