Perennials for Containers

Brighten up your patio or porch with container-friendly perennials

Many perennial plants feel just as at home when potted up in containers as they do planted in the ground. These plants thrive in well-drained soil (potting mix works perfectly), are easy to grow, and will add color and texture to the areas where you entertain. You can even find options that thrive in full-shade, produce fragrant flowers, or attract butterflies - use our filters to find the perfect match for your container garden!
