What plants are good for this area

Hi everyone,

 

I just wonder what kind of plants are good to grow in this deep planter box. Most of the time, it's shady, except a bit of afternoon sunshine during the summer.

 

Thank you!

Depends where you live State wise.  I am in Brisbane and even though my garden bed in in dappled shade it is still exposed to the outside heat which is perfect at the moment for Turmeric and other herbs.

Re: What plants are good for this area

Hi @luxiliu,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

As @Qldgarden has mentioned, the state you are in, and more specifically the climate, will often determine the best choice of plants for your space.

 

Are you looking for colour and aesthetics? Or edible plants? Maybe a combination of the two?

 

There is a massive variety of options, so if we can narrow down what you are looking for, I'll happily make some recommendations.

 

For some general advice, have a look at Need plant suggestions for new garden beds and Need ideas for plants for garden bed where a number of options are recommended.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Jacob
